What a thrill1

I'd feared the worst when I found the nest empty after a week of heavy rain and travel that kept me off the water. Found "my family" this morning; mom, dad, and the 2 young. May they thrive and fledge!

Thanks, All! I went out this morning and everyone is fine; mom, pop and the young ones. By the way, the young are already diving and staying underwater for a half minute or more!

@lynnb Thanks, Lynn! Everyone was fine this morning, but it's a long road, as you well know.
