Ring-necked Ducks also plied Capitol lake on 3 December 2018 in Olympia, Washington, on 3 December 2018. This duck is named for a seldom seen brown ring around their necks, In this photo, to my surprise, the ring neck is visible on the male, second from the right. This species, nevertheless, might be better named the Ring-billed Duck. Like wigeons, Ring-necked Ducks consume a variety of aquatic plants. The two species differ, however, in that the Ring-necked Ducks usually dive for their dinner.
