Cortina Para Box Ring Necked Duck

Step into a moment of serene nature with this striking photograph of a male Ring-necked Duck, a beautiful winter visitor to Arizona's wetlands. While hiking the West Yuma Wetlands, I was lucky to capture this handsome guy enjoying some peaceful "alone time" on the pond. Look closely and you'll see the details that make him a favorite among birdwatchers: the glossy black head with a distinctive peaked crown, a bright orange eye, and the unique white band on its bill. This captivating image is more than just a picture; it's a memory of a tranquil moment in nature. Now you can bring that peaceful charm into your everyday life!
