Finally time for birding Lake Champlain, Villas

I haven't been able to get out to photograph any birds as I've been busy working. Today on my way home from work I stopped at Lake Champlain in the Villas. I didn't find the Hooded Mergansers I had seen before but was rewarded with some close up views of male and female Northern Shovelers. Also seen were the male and female Mallards and variety of gulls.

Drake Northern Shoveler I just love the picture of the duck scratching it's head!
