The Commonwealth of Virginia's tourism and travel slogan is “Virginia is for Lovers,” but it's also for lovers of birds. Virginia supports a diversity of birds and bird habitats, from the mountains in the west to coastal and offshore areas in the east. abcbirds.org/blog/virginia-…

🦆 The next bird of the day is the Northern Shoveler (Spatula clypeata)! They get their name from their unique bill shape, which aides in foraging for aquatic inverts and plants! They're pretty widespread globally, but particularly noted in Europe and southern North America!
