Lake Champlain ~ Hooded Mergansers

Happy New Year! I am looking forward to another winter of seeing ducks and getting out and enjoying the wildlife that's around Cape May County in the winter.  Two favorite places to visit are Avalon 8th Street Jetty and Lake Champlain.  Today's visit was to Lake Champlain which is much closer to my home.  There were a group of Hooded Mergansers on the lake.  I just love how they look with the their hoods up.
