Northern Shoveler
To whom do fish go to borrow money?
The loan shark!
Interesting Fact: They are fairly social ducks, occurring in groups with shovelers and other dabbling ducks, especially during the winter. During the breeding season, they are less tolerant of other shovelers encroaching on their territory. Defensive males often chase intruders on the water and in the air.

I’ve never seen one in flight, and at first glance it looks like their necks are longer than they really are, what with the large bill. Nice capture!
Yeah it does looks that way. Thank you very much again and Happy Blogging! 🙂
Wonderful bill! Lovely capture
