Several people spent hours on Monday trying to rescue a wayward deer in Waltham.

The deer was stuck on the frozen waters of the Cambridge Reservoir.

It was first spotted around noon-time and rescue efforts continued well past 3:30 p.m.

The fire department assembled a team with a raft that worked their way out onto the ice to bring the deer back to land.

The deer was not trapped, but was having a very difficult time walking, so rescue crews had to swoop in and save the animal.

The deer is being monitored to see if it will be able to be released back into the wild.
