No ringnecks in my particular area but a boat load of dogris. Makes for some hard IDing and a total pain in the butt while we're only allowed 1pp

I’ve been hunting 30 something years and I still can’t Id them.

They are incredibly hard to distinguish in the first 20-30 mins of hunting time.

Ring Necks = Normal shaped bill with single white stripe, black backs on drakes, hens can sometimes have mostly white/lighter colored chins and necks like a deer.

Dogris/Scaup = Broad bright blue bill, gray backs on drakes, hens are all brown with white patches on front of cheeks when plumaged.

The hens are indistinguishable when not fully plumaged. The only true tell tale is the bill.

Drakes of both:


Hen Ringnecks:



Hen Dogris:

Pretty rough in outer Delacroix, way down on grays, didn't see a teal of any kind. Did, however, see a lot of new birds arriving from north Saturday mid day and most of Sunday morning so hopeful for next weekend. There's no food, though.
