Leech Lake Baby!!



We have a baby!
My wife and I saw something on the end of our dock during the heavy winds that hit us yesterday.  We got out our scope, and there she was trying to shelter herself from the wind.
Here's some pics taken from inside, looking out through our windows.
See the little leg poking out from under her wing.....

Shortly after the last pic, the little one jumped into the water with the mother in pursuit.  Unfortunately, it looked as though the mother was hurt. Limping badly, as though her left leg was sore, barely able to jump over the 3 inch gap between our docks.  She seemed to swim off fine, and i checked on them an hour later down the shore and all seemed ok.
