Thanks.

It has been a while since I have identified ducks but the bill looks like a shoveler's bill.
The name makes sense. It certainly has a hefty front loader!
Thanks guys.

I suck at identifying birds unless it's a Robin . . .

You're welcome. Don't think for a nanosecond that I was born knowing this sh, er, stuff. Been at it for years shooting side-by-side with birders. What a treasure those people are!
Nice shot of a northern Shoveler.
