I called and found out that he was put down. His leg with the foot dangling was broken and he was missing the other foot. The lady told me that he wouldn't be able to survive. I was kind of hoping that he could be kept in captivity there or somewhere else. Oh well.
I think it must happen in the winter when they are wading in the water and it gets real cold and then they must get frost bite. That's all I can think of. This poor guy basically had no feet at all!!
we were sitting in the grass near russell station when a seagull came flying over head, very low. something was flapping behind him. I realized it was his foot. It was hanging and really black. He landed next to us in the grass. I could almost touch him but not quite. We went and did our thing for about 5 hours. I swore that if the gull was still there when we were done I would grab him. He was still in the grass under the tree. I grabbed a jacket and threw it over him. He was completely missing one foot and the other foot looked like it was about to fall off.
I took him home for the night. He was a little upset. He bit me a few times and didn't eat much or at all but he was quite relaxed. I even was able to pet him and he seemed to enjoy it. The next day I took him to east ridge. I didn't realize dana works there so maybe she can give an update on him if she sees this
Now that the babies are grown up they are very hard to find. I saw them soaring in the sky, I have heard them sceaming but I really haven't seen much of them. Yesterday the baby apparently got a bunny. He was interupted by people walking thier dogs and hung around sceaming at them from the tree tops. Here he is.
