I went back to check on the bird around 3pm and it was gone. Since there
were no signs of distress around the area in which the bird was, I crossed
my fingers that it got away okay and managed to get to either the brook or
one of the many pond-like puddles that had formed on the lawn due to the
rain. I saw no auk pancake on the road in front of our house (the LaHave is
on the other side of it). In any case, if I ever meet another Little Auk,
I'll know to release it from the waters edge.
