Back home in Mass, i'm at least 1/2 mile any ponds, yet last week I came across a crayfish, very much alive, at the side of the road in front of my house.... I kept looking around for Allen Funt (for those old enough to know who he is..)

Not being too far from the ocean and Merrimack River, I finally decided that a seagull or other bird poached the crayfish from a pond and tried to drop him on the sidewalk.. One sees gulls do this at the shore with crabs to kill them and break their shells.

I have no idea if that is a plausible explanation - I'd like to hear other theories...
