Saw 3 yearlings, Dad went over the gap. I think they have plugged the cove, no one went through there tonite. Even a baby muskrat went over the into the cove hole instead of thru.Mom came out once to grab some willow, didnt get good look.

Mom,Dad, 3 yearlings all out. Tide is coming in fast from the plugged cove hole and the water lever is up over all the pipe. Dad did a hilarious scramble over the gap in his haste to get over. Moms eye looks swollen but shes eating well.

Saw all three yearlings. The tide was huge, so much for all the plug work they did at the cove last nite. Mom spent some time at the dam and I feel better about her than I did last nite. Her eye is still looking about the same but not as swollen and the ring around it doesnt look as big. We followed her all the way past Ward St. where she stopped and fed under the Willow tree. Looking at my photos now I can see she still has a snotty nose.
