A Northern Shoveler duck is photographed feeding in a shallow wetland pool, its head submerged as it filters through the water. The duck displays characteristic plumage with a dark head, white chest, and brown-tan sides. The surrounding landscape shows flooded grassland with stubble from previous vegetation, creating a typical wetland habitat scene. The bird appears to be wearing a red leg band, indicating it may be part of a monitoring or research program. The shallow water reflects the sky while small vegetation stalks protrude from the muddy ground.
