Lagoon-ville
Karen identified these two as Northern Shovelers. We spotted them in the lagoon in Malibu. It was nice to get to the coast, about a 41-mile drive (to the north part of Malibu) from Temple City.
I might hazard a guess at Green Winged Teal if I saw them in the UK, perhaps you have a different name for them in the States. Handsome looking ducks either way.

ReplyDeleteYou could be right. But I think they are shovelers. They have that shovel-like beak.
