Ian and tweeters,
This morning at Newstrom's Pond in south Kitsap there were three Shovelers "spinning" within 10 feet of two that were "tipping". I have noted the mixed feeding habits before. I suspect it has to do with how deep the water is.

I was watching 3 Northern Shovelers yesterday and they were feeding by
tipping up like other surface-feeding ducks, not their usual surface
skimming. Has anyone else seen shovelers feed by tipping-up?
