The Hennepin Canal State Park Visitor Center is a wonderful little get away for a couple of hours. The great thing about it is that there is never anyone on the trails! I sat in an old run-down photography blind along the back lake. There were Northern Shovelers, Lesser Scaups, Wood Ducks, and one lone Hooded Merganser on the lake, although my little 300mm lens couldn't get them very close. Luckily, a pair of wood ducks landed directly in front of me and gave me an opportunity. This one is a male.
