neilpa 123 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 This evening in Seattle, WA amongst a bunch of Northern Shoveler's. All of the other males were more-or-less in breeding plumage so this one confused me with the dark beak. It was pretty foggy so couldn't get better pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlexHenry 1,268 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Northern Shoveler. Cinnamon Teals have a spatulate bill, yes, but it simply is not that big. With a bill that size, there’s only one option. It must be a Northern Shoveler. Plumage is that of a Shoveler too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
