Common Mergansers - Lake Champlain

I like to check out Lake Champlain several times during the winter.  Last year there were Hooded Mergansers, Northern Shovelers, American Coots among the Mallards and various gulls.  I went today to see what was there and was pleasantly surprised to find 3 Common Mergansers which are uncommon in this area.  There were 3 Mergansers - an adult male, immature male and a female.  I didn't stay very long as the winds were blowing and it was bitter cold.
