My husband & I took our boat to the river today & we found a baby crow swimming in the middle of the river. He had probably fell from the bridge above the river. I couldnt believe it. If he had any sense of direction he may have made it out on his own. I got him out & put him in some tall grass on the bank. He was fully feathered, but still had that hungry beak thing going on. I went back about 45 minutes later & he was gone. I'm praying that he was able to fend for himself. The bank was isolated, so there was no people or dogs around. I almost took him w/us, but I was very afraid of what I could bring home to merlin. It was amazing seeing him swim thru the water. If he fell from the bridge, he fell over 80'. If any bird deserved to live, this brave soul did. I'm going to think of him going to his nest mates & telling of his adventure. :41:
