Northern Shoveler

This is a male Northern Shoveler. I've spotted quite of few Northern Shovelers this year at Green Lake. And, I've been fortunate to get some photos. This shot was taken last week on the one sunny day :). Seattle might be getting a break from the rain today. Thanks for stopping by.

For such a handsome bird, he has a rather unattractive name... I guess it's because of his beak. Nicely done.
