Ring Billed, I Mean Ring Necked Duck


Ducks are ducks. And with the exception of the rarer ones: Black Bellied Whistling Duck, or Harlequin Duck, you get to a point where you walk right by one and not even blink let alone stop to take a photo. And yet, they can occasionally offer you a "5" Star Photo if you are willing to stop for a moment. Such is the case with today's Ring Necked Duck.  

I sometimes have to stop and think about its name. Ring "Necked" Duck. As you see one the first and foremost thing you see are the two rings on its bill. You don't see any rings on its neck. But, what's in a name?
