This little guy was right on the edge of a local lake and I rowed within aboout 8’. Mama was just over a small rise and I had lots of deep water to back away in. Mama never knew I was there.
After a little interested staring he wobbled off on very unsteady legs. It had been a beautifully sunny day and he likely was just hours old. He is a little bull calf. This is on Sand Lake in Anchorage.
WOW thanks for being in the right spot at the right time and being observant enough to spot this little guy. But mostly thanks for sharing him with us.
