Friday's Foto

The Ring-necked Duck is an uncommon Winter visitor to Brooklyn. They breed in Northern New York State and are found, primarily, in fresh water. Despite their common name, the rarely seen "ring" around the neck is a purple sheen visible only when the male's neck is outstretched. Perhaps "Ring-billed Duck" would have been more appropriate. You can read more about their status in New York State here.

Where did you see this duck? Sylvan? There are several lakes in Green-Wood Cemetery.
