Ring-necked Duck
It’s rare that migrating ducks visit our pond in the fall, so I was beyond excited to see these two Ring-necked Ducks swimming in it today! This was the first species (that wasn’t a Mallard) I ever spotted on our pond three years ago when we first moved here, and was one of the sparks that got me interested in backyard birdwatching and photography.
