  1. My best guess is Northern Shoveler. (They had SO MANY of them at Bombay Hook when I visited over Thanksgiving break I couldn’t believe my own eyes.)

  2. And the answer is…
    Josh is right.
    Charlie saw the ducks with their heads up & identified them as Northern Shovelers.

    I guessed Northern Shoveler based on the male’s botTom (front left), but the females (the two in the back) look enough like mallards that they could be. The real mystery is the front right bird. I wonder if that’s what an immature male looks like… ?
