The white-tipped bill makes me think "American Coot", but the white sides make me wonder if that is correct.

What do you all think?

Yes, another species for which the common name describes the least visible characteristic.

Ringed-necked Duck, I looked in my Birds of Ga book (by Stan Tekiela), and Resin, you are so "right-on".

You amaze me. How long have you been a birder?

Thanks a bunch.
