World Bird Wednesday


This little Ringed Neck Duck has separated from his family group and is hanging with a group of Mallards ... reason being?  They hang on a beach at a resort where people feed them popcorn, ugh.  He is adorable and it is the first Ring Necked Duck I have seen, so couldn't pass up the photo op.






Enjoy your day ...

I've never seen a ring-necked duck but it's on my list of want-to-finds. I definitely don't approve of feeding ducks popcorn. I hope the duck survives this "kindness."

Great shots. It's on my list to see. The duck that is not the popcorn feeding.

I agree with all of you who commented on the feeding popcorn to the ducks. I did tell the people I saw that it was probably more harmful than good for the ducks on many levels. They stopped feeding them, but, sadly there will be others.
