Now that would be nice, Thomas. We get all kinds of birds in the two manmade stream beds we've had installed, as well as in the creek in the woods behind our house. But we have to leave the property to see Mallards. And they can be interesting birds to watch. Enjoy. Thanks for mentioning that you liked the crickets. I preferred the peace of it myself, but I wondered if lots of viewers like the music. So I'm glad you weighed in.
Thank you, Jann. I've got over 200 films, and since you just subscribed, I hope you'll browse. I think you'll find others you like just as much. In fact, here's an oldie but a goodie: th-cam.com/video/gjyDh8Nbu98/w-d-xo.html
My pleasure, Diane. This hobby takes gobs of patience, but then again, I spend my time watching beautiful birds like this Shoveler and then watching him a lot more as I edit the movie. So you're welcome, and, as I said, it's my pleasure.
Most female ducks do have a bland appearance, but hey...the much handsome and even beautiful male ducks are crazy about them girls. Looks don't matter to them. :) I spotted shoveler ducks at my local park. Compared to the other fowls, they're not the biggest or most attractive, but I've been interested in knowing more about the shovelers due to their unattractive-ness anyway.
I think the male Shoveler's colors are lovely. I guess it's the bill that makes you consider them unlovely. Good thing he doesn't care what you think about it, right?
@@Marcuswelby-nx2te I'm old enough to know that, but I didn't remember it. And I didn't rewatch this old movie, so I had forgotten about the Durante comparison in it.
They are really beautiful ducks. To see the colors in person is absolutely amazing.
I agree. In fact, I'd say that to see most male ducks in person is absolutely amazing.
Very nice. I like hearing the critters in and on the water making sounds. I get see the Mallards all year round in the creek behind my house...

A very lovely presentation on the shoveler. Really enjoyed it
We get shovelers here in D.C. in the middle of the National Mall! They are in the ponds at constitution gardens right now.
Dear Jo Alwood, thanks, i love ducks. About Spatola Clypeata in Italy the name is : Mestolone = large ladle 😁 👌
Thanks and you're welcome.
Beautuful shovel !!! Thanks Jo !!!
Right, Jimmi. Just because I don't want a beak that size doesn't mean it isn't pretty on him.
Thanks, Jo. Very nice....💐

Those are beautiful ducks. Though the male shoveler does look like he dunked his head in a bucket of paint.
Good way of putting it. I chuckled.
I love shovelers, they're beautiful : )
I agree. Making this movie was a pleasure because I spent so much time looking at the Shoveler's lovely colors.

Mortified? Why?
ماذا يأكلون في الطبيعه
They eat vegetation in the water (water plants).

@@Mohamed-pz7tw6hr8f My apologies. I don't know the answer to that.
@@JoAlwoodBIRDSANDTHENSOME شكراً لسيادتك ... تحياتي لك من مصر
Thank you for telling me your country. I don't know whether I've ever had a comment before from someone in Egypt.
I was joking with you he used to say that
Who used to say that?
