Nature Walks – A Lady Shoveler

I haven’t seen as many of my colorful male Northern Shovelers lately, but I have seen quite a few females. Maybe the males just haven’t flown in yet. Maybe the ladies are checking out the neighborhoods while the males are still flying all around.

You can always identify the Northern Shovelers, male or female, by their distinct “shoveled” beaks. This helps them dig for food in the muddy waters. Here she is swimming next to a Canadian Goose.

Look. She’s smiling for the camera. 🙂

She was swimming fast here. But I got her. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
