A recurring act of kindness is seen again as deer are unable to find their footing on frozen lakes. Naturalist Ian Waugh witnessed this rescue and took the video linked at the bottom of text of a doe on the ice near Antigonish, Nova Scotia. The animal was exhausted after escaping from a fall through the ice. Her fawn, which was able to stand, would not leave her side. At this point a pilot in a government helicopter struck on a plan to hover over the deer and blow them towards shore with the backwash from the blades. The scheme worked and when the animal was close enough to shore, other men grabbed the doe and pulled the deer onto firm land. Video is a must see Helicopter uses backwash to push deer to safety
