This bird is getting his courtship plumage going – that blue around his eye is also the color of the inside og his mouth. Couldn;t get hem to say “ah” though.

And here’s a potential mate.

“A man is but a product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Northern Shovel-nose ducks have lots of personality. They seemed to pose for every shot. These photos are from March, the ducks have long ago headed north.
