Male And Female Northern Shovelers

They were in the middle of a lake, and it was difficult to get a close shot of them. However, these were the first northern shovelers that
I had ever seen, and so I wanted to post these images. No duck in North America has a bigger bill.

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 300mm f/4 ED-IF AF-S
1/3200s f/8.0 at 600.0mm iso400 with Nikon TC20EII teleconverter full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
