Observation details
**Rare. Awesome male - generally like Shoveler in appearance, but with an extensive and well-demarcated white facial crescent, dark blue-toned head, and dirty brownish (rather than white) breast and upper flanks. Hanging out with a small group of Northern Shoveler, and actively courting a female shoveler with head bobbing. Fairly distant in water at outer edge of mudflats at Chester Creek mouth. Photos and video.
