Thats just a Mallard

Right you are, my mistake. We do have shovellers but this one is a Mallard

Here is the Northern Shoveller - the big black beak is the easiest marker

No my lens was not dirty - the bugs were that bad - shooting through swarms of them.

Had a visit by a pair of Evening Grosbeaks in our backyard.
The female kept her distance staying high in the tree, the male was more adventurous and came much closer.
