Item Lore
The Ring-necked Duck is a striking diving duck identified by its distinctively peaked head and the subtle, often overlooked iridescent chestnut collar for which it is named. Birders and collectors prize this species for its unique silhouette, characterized by broad wings and a pointed tail that sets it apart from other members of the *Aythya* genus.
