Title: Shovelers
Post by: Barbarian on February 12, 2008, 08:40:21 AM
Two pairs of Northern Shovelers are now in residence at the lake.  Humorous-looking birds.    And unlike the mallards, they don't come out to feed when I bring them food.    They seem to like dabbling for whatever it is they eat there.

What a strange beak!  Thanks!  Never saw them before.

I love the "Daffy Duck" bill on these birds.
