My wife gives me a hard time sometimes because I will not take pictures of Shovelers and Coots I guess it goes back to my bias from duck hunting, mostly because they are so common around here. But I do like the pose of these two



Then again I could watch these guys all day long.Even though they are common too.

Another from the same day

Mallards too

Great shots. I've never heard of Shovelers being called "Spoonies". Why was I thinking "pink"? besvirginian

I apologize to our southeastern members. Spoonies west coast Duck hunter slang for northern shoveler not those big pink birds with long legs
