GLOUCESTER (CBS) – A stranded duck was plucked from the frigid waters of Gloucester after it became tangled in a net and stuck on the ice.

Several Animal Rescue League of Boston members were involved in the rescue, including two who donned cold water suits to rescue the duck.

According to the Animal Rescue League, a rescuer was tethered to shore and made his way out to the duck.

The bird was rescued, and volunteers discovered that it was stuck on the ice because it was “severely tangled” in a net.

  3. What a great thing to do.
    Congratulations to all who were involved.Those nets are real killers of birds and animals. I wonder if they are legal.

    1. They shouldn’t be I’d think… Same with how other materials are not legal that could possibly hurt wildlife. So happy this little one was rescued. Thank you Rescuer
