Observation details

Came back to photo & check his feet. He does not have normal feet. I observed him fly a short distance - awkward without rudders - & he floated & swam bit. A mallard was paddling near him & the difference in movement is marked. He is now back on the concrete edge of the pond. He is hanging with a mallard friend again.
