Northern Shovelers have a spatulate bill.

Often in the wetlands and marshes of shoreline do you find these ducks, wading for some food to eat. I have seen them several times, and the photo above shows a female duck. The males are more brightly colored than the females, and technically shovelers are found all across the northern hemisphere.

The Northern Shoveler, as I read about a while ago, is actually a rare vagrant to Australia! I do not see why they have to go all the way there when they have the whole northern hemisphere to themselves!
