Bucephala islandica
A stunningly beautiful, formally dressed duck.
Breed on inland lakes and generally winter on the coast with a few exceptions.
Photo # 2 shows the male and female of the species together. Like many duck species, they are dimorphic = the male and female have different plumages from each other.
