Northern Shoveler
Males have a white chest and lower sides. When they are flying you can see blue on their upper wing and green on their secondaries. Immature males and females are mottled brown and have powdery blue on their wings.
They spend time using the comblike projections on the side of their bill to filter aquatic invertebrates and seeds out of the water. They dunk their head under and swipe their head side to side.
They tend to rest on land or walk along the edge of wetlands, but they never forage for food on land.
After breeding season, males group together into small flocks and molt their flight feathers. For this brief time before migrating south, males are flightless and seek extra protection by hiding in vegetation.
