 | | The Northern Shoveler breeds from northern Alaska to northern Manitoba, south to northwestern and eastern Oregon, northern Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, and Missouri and central Wisconsin. |
 | | The Northern Shoveler prefers shallow prairie marshes, particularly those with abundant plant and animal life floating on the surface, but also occupies potholes, sloughs, and marshes in taiga, forests, and (less commonly) cultivated country. |
 | | It tolerates a wide range of water conditions, from clean and clear to muddy; flowing to stagnant; considerably alkaline, and even heavily polluted. |
