Anas clypeata

Description:

Perhaps the most outwardly distinctive of the dabbling ducks, the Northern Shoveler inhabits wetlands across much of North America. Its elongated, spoon-shaped bill has comblike projections along its edges, which filter out food from the water. Male with iridescent green head, white chest, and rusty sides.

Habitat:

Unicorn Lake - a man made retention area.
