Ring-Necked Duck
A brown duck fills the frame. Its back is a darker brown. Its eye is amber and ringed with white. Its black bill has a white stripe near the tip. There are lily pads in the foreground, and the background is gently rippled blue water.
It’s #MallardMonday! Here is a close up of a lovely female #RingNeckedDuck. #duck #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK

Ring-Necked Ducks
Two ducks are swimming from right to left on very calm and reflective water in a marsh in early springtime before the plants have turned green, with the beige cattail reeds lining the far shore reflecting in vertical lines on the water.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MarriedCouples (same species male/female bird pairs).
It's not hard to see who's in charge in this relationship. :)

The image shows a female Ring-necked Duck with three ducklings swimming in a marsh. Ring-necked Ducks are among the many boreal birds who make their homes on marshland. This marsh also hosts American Black Ducks, Common Mergansers, Hooded Mergansers, Wood Ducks, and Mallards.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections. Here’s a #RingNeckedDuck family on a marsh in the #AdirondackMountains of upstate New York. wildadirondacks.org/heron-marsh-...

A duck lays its head on its back as it bathes among ripples and splashes of water.
@alan678.bsky.social has chosen #splash as the theme for #BirdOfTheDay. I’m going to combine it with #MallardMonday and offer up this make #RingNeckedDuck. #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK
Yoga on the Brook? Pull up a small rock and join this Ring-necked Duck for stretches and poses.

A little brown duck throws her head in the air and shakes off water droplets. The water around her ripples and floats water lily leaves. She has chestnut glints in her feathers and a black bill.
For #MallardMonday I submit what’s probably my favorite shot from yesterday. I caught this female #RingNeckedDuck having a bath, and she just seemed to be really enjoying it. It reset my own joy.❤️ #duck #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin
Slicked-back feathers and a crisp black and white tux make the ring-necked duck effortlessly fashionable. #birds #birding #birdsofbluesky #birdphotography #birdwatching #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #wildbird #wildlife #waterfowl #waterfowlphotography #ringecked #ringneckedduck

The Return of the Ring-necked Duck

Aaauugh! My Breakfast is Fighting Back! Dammit! A male Ring-necked Duck trying to disentangle himself after diving to munch on some tasty plants in the Ridgefield NWR in Washington State. Eventually, the shortness of his legs defeated him, and he just swam around the pond with the offending plant hanging from his bill, hoping the females weren't watching. Horizontal color phot: The duck, white wings, black butt and head, golden eyes and black bill broken by white stripes, is rolled over on its side, vainly attempting to scrape a clinging bit of brown water weed off its bill with a black, webbed foot too short for the last.
Dammit!

Beesands Ley, S Devon. 12.20. Super views of this drake #RingNeckedDuck. 'The Baron of Beesands' likely returned for another winter. A G W Egret glided past to provide a nice backdrop too 👍. #DevonBirds #UKBirding @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social

The lake was very calm creating mirror like conditions for this Ring-necked Duck.
A still morning created the ideal conditions for reflections. Sony a1 and 200-600, f9, 1/1000s, ISO 800 #birds #ringneckedduck #birdphotography #birdsoftheworld #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography #BirdWatching #ReflectionsInWater #WildlifeReflections

Male and female #RingNeckedDuck floating along. Somewhat perplexing that their bills are obviously ringed which seems like Ring Billed may have been a better nomer.

A female Ring-necked Duck is seen swimming on the surface of a body of water. The duck is positioned in profile view, with its head turned slightly towards the viewer's right. Its plumage is a mix of dark brown, reddish-brown, and grayish tones, characteristic of the species. The water has a muted, brownish-gray color. Ripples and subtle surface patterns suggest a gentle current or movement within the water. The background is out of focus, but there's a vague suggestion of a bank or shoreline in the far distance, also muted in tone.

Getting along. Two females of different species.
Fore: Bufflehead
Back: Ring-necked Duck
Non competing for food sources. The Bufflehead keen on insect and mollusks. The Ring-neck predominately a plant forager.

A close-up of dried reeds with fluffy flower heads. Through the reeds, some partially obscured, are the softly blurred shapes of a grebe and five ducks. In the foreground in one corner is the extremely blurred shape of a tiny cradled sylvanian black cat baby's face. It's Reggie!
Quack quacks!
