Good looking dog and nice pile of ducks. Canvasbacks and Redheads are rare around here. I've only seen one of each. What is a ring necked duck? Never heard of them!

Ring necked ducks are commonly called ringbills or ringers. Their proper name is Ringnecked duck. They are very much like blue bills. Similar coloring for the most part. A bit smaller.

Even though there is a distinctive ring on their bills, there is a faint ring on the neck when in full plumage.
