Field Notes

Description:

Northern Shoveler duck spotted in Ushiku, Japan. Similar marking to a mallard... but with a spoon-shaped bill.

Notes:

Both photos are of the same duck, not sure why the lighting looks so different.

The id is right because they are also called spoonbill duck. Nice picture of a colorful duck.
