Description
A pair of Ring-necked Ducks (Aythya collaris) on a pond in the Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood, Arizona.
Although it mixes freely with other diving ducks on large lakes in winter, the Ring-neck is also found on small, tree-lined ponds, and associating with dabbling ducks on shallow waters. A strong and fast flier, it is able to take flight by springing up directly from the water, without the laborious take-off run of most diving ducks. Despite the name, the ring on its neck is almost never visible.
