Female mallard trapped in a small space between buildings.
This happened again. It's such a bizarre occurrence, and it only happened 3 weeks ago, so there's some thought that this is the same exact duck. I wish we'd banded it so we could tell for sure. This time the rescue effort was complicated by snow and ice on the roof. I screwed up my lower back somehow, probably while moving the ladder around.
