Showoff Shoveler

On this day the Shovelers were in rare form as they stood up, flapped their wings and showed their beautiful colors. It took a little patience to wait for the action we desired but the waiting payed off in dividends by giving us this wonderful shot. The male was showing off for the females. The male has an iridescent green head, long, oversized black bill, and yellow eye. And he never fails to amaze us.
