FLORIDA -- MCSO - Florida Keys posted on Facebook on April 21, 2016 ·

This gull was apparently not feeling well this morning. It was found sitting in the middle of the highway at the 12 mile marker by Deputy Josh Gordon.

He picked it up and drove it to the Key West Wildlife Rescue operation at Indigenous Park on White Street. You've done your good deed for the day, Josh!

Update: the gull reportedly had a broken leg and looked like it had been hit by a car, according to an update from the Wildlife Rescue Center. They say the prognosis is "fair" and they are monitoring him/her.
