CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio — Being in the right place at the right time sometimes works out. That's what happened to one bird watcher who found a man unexpectedly in need of life saving care.

“You get the small songbirds are down there and so I make it a habit to walk there and to see the sunsets every night,” Rolf said. “I see a man with his arms wrapped around the log in the water trying to sweep him off of that log and down the river,” Rolf said.“Quickly dropped the camera, binoculars, kept the phone because I thought maybe 911 wouldn’t be a bad idea,” Rolf added.“Let go of the fishing pole, don't worry about it,” Rolf said to the man in the water, while on the phone with a 911 operator.Ten minutes later, help arrived.

Rolf said if it weren’t for a friend pushing back evening plans, he would have never stumbled upon what he did.
