Went into Shelby Bottoms Park at the Forrest Green entrance yesterday afternoon 
for a quick look and found about five pairs of Northern Shovelers. They were 
all paired off and in unison spinning slowly around with their heads below the 
water. It was an amazing ballet, and I assume mating behavior. The females 
would occasionally break away but then coming back and they'd start spinning 
again. Two pair were quite close to the walk, the others were farther away down 
the pond.
