Harlequin Duck

 

This beautiful duck is incredibly difficult to see as it patrols the rocky marine shorelines in search of shellfish. Many of these ducks were killed in the Exxon Valdez oil-spill in 1989, and studies are still being conducted to see how these ducks continue to be affected by the oil that remains in the environment.
