Spring is officially here! The plant nursery is open for the season! On the way there to pick up some apple trees and some rhubarb, I spotted some activity on a flooded field.
We don't see Shoveller Ducks very often, but I caught this drake and hen enjoying a snooze in the sun and a relaxing swim.
Of course, the Mallards are always trying to upstage everybody else!
shovelers are such odd/great looking ducks! :)
ReplyDeleteWe get both those species here...Such neat colors!
ReplyDeleteNot used to seeing Shovelers. They do look interesting.
ReplyDeletenever heard of a shoveller duck...I take it they get their name from their shovel-shaped beaks? Interesting...my learned item of the day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of nice looking ducks
