This ring-billed gull was flying too low over the highway and got sucked underneath a truck. A kind commuter saw the bird was still alive and stopped to help it. It was brought into the vet clinic where we took x-rays and gave it a physical exam. Luckily, no major injuries! After a little steroid and a few hours of rest, this guy was returned to the banks of the mighty Susquehanna!
