Long-Tailed Duck

Clangula hyemalis

Max size: 51 cm
IUCN status: VU

This sea duck spends most of the year on coastal marine water and dives deeper than almost any duck, reaching around 60 metres after shellfish and crustaceans. It breeds beside shallow tundra pools at the edge of the boreal forest, and its numbers have fallen enough to leave it listed as vulnerable.
