Nice shot of the STOL (short take-off and landing) Shoveler, AKA "smiling 
mallard" down in TX and not a desirable "table duck".

"Puddle ducks" a.k.a genus Anas don't need a runway, they can jump straight 
out of the water:

This is a Northern Shoveler, Anas clypeata.? Technical stuff: R8/DMR, 280mm 
f/4 APO, probably 2x APO-Extender-R, shoulder stock & monopod.? All comments 
welcome.
