Northern Shoveler ducks

Happy to have seen these yesterday - cold but sunny morning - given their name as they have a large bill and literally shovel up food from the water

Shoveler is just a familiar name but, on an official and ceremonious
page like this, the name AND title should appear: Northern Shoveler!

Very nice set, buddy. The reflection of the eye in #1 cracks me up, it looks cartoonish being elongated like that but #2 is the better of the two shots, sharp & smooth!

The second shot, with the perfect reflection and the ripples of the water, added to the lighting, are excellent !!!!. They make me see how far I am and how much I have to practice.
