A monograph of the Common Eider, a large and familiar duck with a long and fascinating cultural history. A common sight around the more northerly shores of the British Isles, the Common Eider is the largest duck in the northern hemisphere. The eider is particularly well adapted to cold-water environments; the insulating properties of eider down are iconic. The species is taxonomically interesting, with a range of well-marked subspecies reflecting the patterns of ice coverage during ancient glaciations, and these ducks have also provided the focus for a number of important behavioural studies, especially on feeding ecology and energy budgets. Eiders have a long association with humans, and have deep cultural significance in many societies. However, modern lifestyles are exposing these ducks to a wide range of new pressures. This monograph provides a comprehensive portrait of the Common Eider; authors Chris Waltho and John Coulson bring together an extensive and diverse international literature, with sections on taxonomy, habitats, breeding biology, population dynamics, diet and foraging, dispersal and migration, and conservation.

The Hudson Bay eider is one of the least known subspecies of the common eider. Prior to the present study, no reliable estimates of breeding population size could be produced, as no systematic and large-scale ground surveys of nest colonies had been done. In response to the threat posed by oil exploration in central Hudson Bay, this study was designed to provide information on the numbers, breeding distribution and ecology of common eiders in the eastern part of the Bay. Seven subregions were selected for intensive ground surveys for Part I of the study. Data on Hudson Bay eider ecology were collected during 134 hours of semi-directive interviews with 41 individuals from the communities of Sanikiluaq, N.W.T., and Inukjuak and Kuujjuarapik, northern Quebec. Extensive information was compiled on eider taxonomy, biogeography, behaviour, diet, life history and breeding, and wintering ecology.
