The Return of the Ring-necked Duck

#RingNeckedDuck #Duck #DivingDuck #Waterfowl #Birds #Wildlife
Since I posted a picture of a Ring-necked duck that I mistook as a Redhead Duck, I thought that to atone I would try to take an intentional picture of one. Here you go Ring-necked Ducks everywhere - I recognize you as the splendid water fowl that you are.

See this Ring-necked Duck? See that amused, slightly mocking look that she's giving me? It's because she knows that I'm all excited because I think she is the Redneck Duck that I've been trying to get a picture of for two weeks. I held on to that excitement until I ran into a birder who manages to not completely forget everything about all of the ducks who disappear over the summer. Sigh.

The #WednesdayWaterbird is a Ring-necked duck. Yay, duck.

Photographed in the collection at WWT Arundel, not excitingly found in the wild.

Les fuligules à collier ont ce petit quelque chose d’insaisissable.
Toujours là, jamais tout à fait proche.
Reconnaissable à son œil doré et son bec cerclé.
(Ring-necked Duck)

This is a Ring-necked Duck, obviously named for the prominent ring around it's ... Hey! wait a minute.
