Cameraria
This looks like the beginnings of a Cameraria leaf mine, and I can just make out two larvae inside. There's no Cameraria recorded from alder though--are you sure that's what it was? There are Camerarias on various other things in the birch family.

It wasn't a birch
but now that I looked it up, I'm pretty sure it was a witch hazel. The underside of the leaf didn't have any marking at all.
