Northern Shoveler

// May 24th, 2010 // Birds of Manitoba, Manitoba Tourist Destination, Oak Hammock Marsh

Welcome back to my website & thanks for visiting !

This Northern Shoveler pair was sighted close to Oak Hammock Marsh.  Beautiful waterfowl with large shovel like beaks that swipe back and forth while feeding on the water surface. Can be found breeding in shallow wetlands. Below is the female Northern Shoveler.

Below – close up views that show their broad beaks.

Enjoy!
