Through the kitchen window I spotted this feathered flotilla chugging west on the lake shore. I grabbed the nearest camera and dashed out the door and around the cabin, creeping up on the tree line just in time to capture the babies as they spotted me and tried to crawl atop Mama. It was the first time this spring that we've seen them.
