Ducklings on Elbow Lake

















We saw a lot of neat and interesting things on yesterday's kayak adventure on Elbow Lake on the Gunflint Trail.  Probably the most entertaining (and definitely the cutest!) sighting was this group of ducklings that we saw on the opposite end of the lake from the boat landing.  They must have been hiding in the brush along the edge of the lake when we first went by because we didn't see them until we were heading back to the landing.  They sure were cute as they swam along the bank close to shore.  This sighting along with the Loon earlier in the trip really made the day special.  We also saw a bald eagle perched atop a giant pine tree and a goofy gull that was flying around in the distance the whole time we were paddling.  There are always fascinating things to see when you spend time on the water and today was no exception!
