The northern shoveler is certainly a duck worth looking at, not only for its broad and distinctive whopper of a bill, but for its bold and unexpected color palette, piercing eyes, and overall fun duckiness. Click on any photo in the gallery below to get a full-size look at these birds (without ads!), and enjoy unprecedented views of the northern shoveler!












These photos are stunning. Thank you.
Thank you, Barbara – I’m glad you’ve enjoyed them! I hope you’ll come back to see our future galleries (one every month, always a different bird!).
I certainly will.
Nice selection of ducks. While I have always been partial to the bottoms up pose the last pictures is my favorite.
