A few more migrants passing through, I’ve only seen ring-billed ducks a few times and always as it gets colder.

Nice photo of ring-necked ducks, Belinda. They do have a ring on their bills but they are called ring-necked ducks (aythya collaris), probably for the faint change of colour on their neck. The name could be confused with the ring-billed gull (Larus delawarensis). Anyway, they are beautiful ducks.

Thank you. I always thought their name didn’t quite fit 😏.

The names are very close. When I googled ring-billed it came up ring-necked, so that mistake has obviously been made plenty of times before.
