20090429 186 Northern Shoveler (M).jpg

Ottawa

My first close-up of this beautiful large duck. Note the size of its beak and of its tongue. I found it swimming amongst some mallards and Canada Geese in a pond at a nearby park. It stayed for a day or two, then presumably continued on to its breeding grounds up north.
