Whoa that's crazy!Reminds me of the time I was returning home from work one spring and found an adult Loon that had landed in the road.It was unhurt but couldn't take-off of course.We took it to the nearest water and released it.

My crazy bird story.
Daughter call me to say a large bird is in her fireplace.
I grabbed a fish net and managed to retrieve an adult wood duck that had 'dropped in'.
We went to the lakeside and washed all the soot off and he/she flew away without even a thank you.
(Wood ducks are known to nest in hollow trees so we suspect it was a female looking to nest. They are the only duck that lands on trees.)
You all know of catch and release fishing, well we catch/release hunt! LOL (should I say trap)

Those mergansers are something special- I like seeing them around!
