Then there was the adult male Northern Shoveler who hung out with the
Mallards at the Maryville Greenbelt Park in Blount County two winters ago.
At first he was shy but got to the point where he would waddle over to be
fed along with the Mallards. He stayed around all winter but didn't return
the next year to my knowledge.
