In this 2006 photo released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a breeding male Steller's eider is seen on the North Slope of Alaska in 2006.  The colorful, threatened sea duck, whose numbers plummeted in Alaska, may be reintroduced to the southwest corner of the state. The agency is taking public testimony on possible environmental effects of a plan to move breeding pairs of Steller's eiders to the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, where the birds once thrived. Only 11 nests have been found there in the last 18 years. The birds' declining numbers on the delta figured heavily in a 1997 federal decision to declare the species threatened.
