Ring-Necked Duck
 | I’m one of the most common wintering ducks in Florida. I have a distinctive strike across my beak, but my name comes from the ring on my neck. Unless you’re in great light, you won’t see the ring on my neck in the field. Most Likely Found: In a pond, In the marsh When: Winter Where I've photographed: Circle B Bar Reserve, Lake Apopka, Lake Morton, Viera Wetlands Read more: Ring-Necked Duck at Cornell Lab of Ornithology Ebird: Ring-Necked Duck eBird range |
