We managed to get it back to the car, but it was early and we couldn&#8217;t locate any help, so we released it. It didn&#8217;t seem to have a serious injury, so it may have a decent chance.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, it was deadly slow, with virtually no visible birds. We spent some time looking for bugs, with limited success.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32262\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
