What a surprise to come upon some ducks in a small pond on a farm
Northern Shovelers were swimming about and feasting in the pond.
And doing water ballet for us
They were on a small pond on this well kept farm near Lynden, WA
A tour with me and my camera - barns, houses, birds, ocean - anything that catches my fancy - come along with me

Beautiful ducks. They are having great time.
Love everything about this post, but I almost couldn't tear my eyes away from your header photo -- that baby gosling. And daffodils..... oh my gosh I am missing the Pacific Northwest. Lovely.
What a beautiful barn! I love to watch ducks dive like that- it makes me laugh. Have a great weekend!
You captured some nice diving photos!
There is a pair or two of Northern Shovelers that pass through the strip pits every year...at least I asuume they pass through cause usually only see them in the spring or fall.
Beautiful scenery & wildlife!phyllis
Watching the ducks is so much fun. They are active! Great shots.
nice surprises makes you happy :) Love the shovelers. I had a couple in a nearby lake but they were too far off.
Hello, the shovelers are one of my favorite ducks! Pretty farm. Great shots. I am still a little behind in visiting all my critters post and links. Thank so much for linking up and sharing this post! Wishing you a great day and new week ahead!
Shovellers are one of my favourite ducks - I always think that they look like battleships! Sitting low in the water with that huge beak - I really like them. We have a similar species of shoveller here, but not the Northern one.
