Look for the northern shoveler, the ring-necked duck and the gadwall.

“There’s a gadwall out there,” McHugh said.

A solitary male gadwall “stayed still long enough for me to fixate on its delicate herringbone feather pattern.”

"It's now internationally important for birds like the gadwall and shovelers."

While other visitors shopped for Louis Vuitton wallets and Tod’s moccasins, I watched Jonathan Borofsky’s motorized “Five Hammering Men” hack away at an invisible nail and inspected the crayon-and-glitter construction of Frank Stella’s “Washington Island Gadwall.”
