Lost duckling

I'm not sure why there is a mallard duckling all alone at the pond in February, but here he is. Poor little duckling. I've never even seen mallard ducks at this pond.

Thank you @joansmor This isn't a mallard duckling. It's a Ring Necked Duck.

@joansmor I just looked up a ringed neck duck. You are right. That explains why there was a mallard duckling alone in February.
