I live on a lake in Tennessee and I'm constantly looking for ducks because I like them. Don't normally see much variety here on Lake Chickamauga, at least not where I am. This year has been different I assume it's because of the wintry blast that we had. Last week I noticed a number of ducks at I have not seen previously. I saw three pair of shovelers. The Drake's are absolutely beautiful. Also I saw some ducks that I believe to be gadwalls. Big gray puddlers maybe bigger than a mallard even. I normally see a few canvasbacks but the past few years not many. This year I realized some ducks I thought were canvasbacks are not, they are something different. Good size black and white divers that I think are blue bill or ringnecked ducks. And it seemed to be there were more buffleheads than normally seen even though there are usually a few around.
