2 of 2 Photo: Another Northern Shoveler paddling in a pond. This one is also in profile facing picture right. His markings are slightly different to the one in the other picture the dark green of his head is a shade lighter and his eye is a light shade of brown.

Spotted two male Northern Shovelers in the pond at Jericho Beach Park on Saturday morning. There was at least one female with them, but she paddled behind some reeds before I could get a picture.

At Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Northern Shoveler on a log, back to the camera, balancing on its left leg, right one slightly extended down. It's head is turned, beak buried in its back feathers.

American Coot, standing on shore, back to the camera, bending low with its beak in the water.

Mallards are dabbling ducks, which means they're often upended as this one is. The back half of the duck is visible, as are its legs, splashing in the water. We're seeing its underside, so yes--butt in view.

I LOVE Northern Shovelers although I've never seen one in person. This is a great photo of this guy all by himself. I hope he will find birds of his feather as he makes his way home, and perhaps a mate too.

Good luck, cute duck. 💥

Horizontal color photograph: a colorful male northern shoveler and his reflection in the still waters of the marsh. The bird is facing right-to-left. He is trailing a small wake in the still waters behind him as he paddles about the marsh. The water is otherwise still and glassy, his reflection is sharp and detailed. He has an oversized flat, black, bill, an iridescent green and black tea, yellow eye, a white throat, brown wings, black top feathers and a bit of teal towards his rear. There's another white patch at his rump, under the the black and white tail feathers.

Male Northern Shoveler, taken just after he finished shoveling around in the marsh for breakfast at the Ridgefield NWR in Washington State. Horizontal color photograph: a colorful male northern shoveler and his reflection in the still waters of the marsh dominate the image. All around home, brown marsh reeds stick out of the water, creating a simple maze for him to navigate as he feeds. He's moving left-to-fight across the frame, looking back over his shoulder in the direction of the camera.
