Finder said bird was unable to fly. RRT reported that it was in a lake. When approached, flew about 10 ft in the air, then fell. It tried to flee again and landed in water. It was picked up after coming out of the water on its own.

Exam Notes
BAR, standing in box. Wet due to falling in lake. Very vocal and strong, would thrash sometimes. Nothing notable found other than some old bruising, possible old road rash, along femur, just above the right knee, with some accompanying feather loss. Also has flaky skin, suggesting dehydration, and flatflies. Administered treatment and moved to KR2.
