St. Paul Waterfowl

I saw these little guys, and it fascinated me that they only used one leg - these two were 'right-legged' - to paddle around.   Later in the afternoon, we noticed that they had their left leg tucked up under their wing.  No, I am not kidding, they put their leg up on their back, under their wing.
