Redhead (Aythya americana)Observer
skrentnyjeffDescription
Rescued this Redhead today. It had a fishhook in its bill / face, and the fishing line it was attached to was frozen into the ice and the bird was trapped. Captured the bird, broke the fishing line, and then, with a friend, cut the fishhook in half and removed it from the duck's bill / face. It seemed vigorous and healthy. When we released it, it flew away strong and fast. Good deed done.

We had pitfall traps out and when we lifted the bucket, the frog was in the moist soil underneath. This was a really cool find because it was my first herp that I could immediately ID to genus and species!
