From Wikipedia:
The northern shoveler (/ˈʃʌvələr/; Spatula clypeata), known simply in Britain as the shoveler,[2] is a common and widespread duck. It breeds in northern areas of Europe and across the Palearctic and across most of North America,[3] wintering in southern Europe, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. It is a rare vagrant to Australia. In North America, it breeds along the southern edge of Hudson Bay and west of this body of water, and as far south as the Great Lakes west to Colorado, Nevada, and Oregon.[4][5]
