Steller's eider is a large sea duck of northern regions. Males are black with white patches on wings and a noticeable knob on the bill, females are brown.
Humphead pochard differs from other pochards by a large hump on the beak of males and white wing mirrors. It is important for nature because it controls the population of mollusks in water bodies and serves as food for predators.
