Clay Crofton and I collected a ruddy duck who was stranded on land only to
find out that they can't walk that well and should have just put it back in
the water. I have only once in recent memory seen a red phalarope on the
shore, but it seemed very unsure on it's feet, but still well able to walk.
It was very approachable.
