Your photos are beautiful as they all are - has anyone ever wondered who came up with the names for some of the birds? As in Northern Shoveler?

That comes from their bill and the way they feed. They have a long bill that is wide and flat at the end, like a spade. They use it to "shovel" up the bottom of the water to find food.
