I visited Greenway on Sunday. The water level is alarmingly low, but the shovelers were still hanging around. Got several flight captures of these ducks.

A breezy day and no tripod meant a fortuitously fast shutter speed.

Shoveler (male) WWT Slimbridge

Northern shovelers look similar to mallards given just a glance since males have a green head and females are mottled brown, but then take a look at those large spatulate bills - that have a shovel shape. These lovely ducks will work their way out west into the Dakotas to nest.

This shoveler drake had just taken off from the smaller lake at Koll wetlands.

Absolutely love it when you get perfectly calm water. It’s rare on lake Ontario but when you get some it’s magic.
