Soul-killing headwind for the ride home. Slowed me down by about 5MPH or so.

I rescued a bird on the MUP. I'm not sure what its deal was. I thought it was a rock until I got to it. I dismounted and walked up to it. Poor thing was just sitting there, a bit puffed up. I tapped its beak gently and it didn't seem bothered, so I carefully picked it up with one hand and carried it away to some tall grass next to a fence. I made a little spot for it and set it down gently. It didn't try to get away at all. Hopefully I get karma points.
