The Northern Shoveler coming in for a landing at Bosque Del Bosque. It was a difficult decision whether to crop tight on the bird or keep the reflection.

The Northern Shoveler, with its striking spoon-shaped bill, glides gracefully across the water. It feeds with a methodical rhythm, sweeping its bill side to side, sifting through the surface for tiny aquatic treasures. In the soft morning light, it moves in elegant circles, creating ripples that dance on the pond’s surface. Social by nature, it often joins flocks, sharing serene moments in the wetlands. With vibrant plumage reflecting the sun, the Northern Shoveler’s serene and purposeful demeanor embodies the quiet beauty and harmony of its watery world.
