A scoop of shovelers delving for food in the small unfrozen section of sn icy lake. #birds #shovelers #BroomfieldPark #Enfield

The northern shoveler-Its uniquely shaped bill has comblike projections along its edges, which filter out tiny crustaceans and seeds from the water. #🪶 #birds #nature #birding #birdsofbluesky #shovelers #blueskys #bluesky #photography #waterfolwl #blueskyday #naturephotograph #ducks

Northern Shovelers seen swimming from a circling group shrouded in darkness (symbolizing the cesspool of disinfo & hate speech that is X) over to a circling group illuminated by sunlight (symbolizing the haven of kindness & fair-minded discourse that is Bluesky). When Shovelers circle together like this they maximize food availability so the entire community can thrive. Seen recently on Central Park's Turtle Pond.

It's way better at Bluesky.

It’s a glittery day & while the #MuteSwans appear to have sent their 8 #cygnets out into the wider world, a whole family of #shovelers has arrived en masse. #waterfowl
