Duck Tale 02

This is the little fellow from yesterday, this morning. He was better than yesterday, and what I had thought might be an injury might just be a bruise that improves with time. Over the course of the day, he has got sprightlier, though he didn't get anything to eat till the afternoon: some oatmeal soaked in water, courtesy the neighbo(u)ring Computer Science department office people. Off and on, he's been drinking water, mostly as drops from my fingertips, but later from a bowl as well (into which he couldn't resist jumping).

Have been calling wildlife organizations, animal control, and rehabbers, and finally seem to have found someone, about 40 miles away, who handles waterfowl. So probably tomorrow this fellow will go to her.

Till then, he follows me around wherever I go (his mobility has improved, as has his jumping).
