Observation details
On the road south of Lot 3 at Plum Island. Many visitors were surrounding it taking photos. I came in and scooped it up then drove to Lot One beach where I released it into the surf. However, surf was so heavy at the beach that he kept getting washed up and stranded so I ended up taking him up to the north end of the island and released him in the river. The tide was going out rapidly and I watched him quickly being carried out towards the jetties and the sea. It seemed healthy, fat, and alert. There was a touch of blood on the left wing and flanks but neither wing appeared to be broken or damaged in any way.
