Northern Shoveler's Valentine

Male Ánas clypeáta, caught whispering sweet nothings to his mate.

...and she like most women was waiting for the chocolates or the flowers! Great shot again Matt!

Oh, it's a Northern Shoveler!
.... for a minute there I thought it was an Ánas clypeáta flatulætum!

@Helen: Hi Helen- Once again, you've read my mind. Definitions of "sweet nothings" vary greatly...

OK Matt - get to work! You are hanging out with these birds way too much - LOL!! Another awesome capture with excellent color!
