An East River Duck got stuck in fishing wire near the rocks just below the Roosevelt Island seawall last Friday evening. Luckily, some kind people passing by stopped and rescued the duck. According to our Duck Heroes, they first called animal rescue centers but nobody came to help the duck so a few hours later our Duck Heroes returned and decided to do the job themselves. Fortunately, for the Roosevelt Island Duck, they were able to release it from the fishing wire.

Here's the rescue footage.

That's actually a Brant Goose, not a duck.
