cfowler Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Is this a female or immature Prairie Warbler and a . Northern Shoveler duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) One for two. The duck is a female Northern Shoveler. Notice the partially-obscured Black-bellied Whistling-Duck behind and to the right. The second shot is a Pine Warbler. The facial pattern is too weak for a Prairie, and the belly is white, not yellow. I'm not going to commit to gender or age; I've seen some pale males at this time of year.

cfowler Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Thanks for the quick reply there were hundreds of the whistling ducks but only one with that big bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on both birds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Agreed. Humongous bill like that definitely means shoveler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
