Description
Female Ring-Neck Duck I
Lake Junaluska in the mountains of North Carolina becomes home for a respite for the Ring-neck duck before migrating.
"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."
