Subject: Ring-necked Duck (Aythya collaris)
Place: Phoenix, AZ, USA
Date: December 2003
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6), tripod
Film: Fuji Sensia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered

Commentary: Yet another wintering duck on "rainbow" water in a local park. I'm not sure what has caused the extensive amount of white on the face: age, genetic or nutritional deficiency, or some hybridization.
