Dive! Dive! Dive!
The ring-necked duck is a fairly common diving duck that takes up residence here in Arizona during the winter and spring months. This is a male, the female being kind of brownish but with similar markings on the beak. According the the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the oldest known ring-necked duck was at least 20 years, 5 months old. And he...um...didn't die of natural causes.
