Happy winter to everyone out there in the northern hemisphere or summer for everyone down down south.

Mrs. Shovler
With winter finally making it our way so have the Northern Shovelers who overwinter on the ponds and lakes in our area. This Female Northern Shoveler was busy foraging for food on Clear Creek on a chilly December morning.
