What about ducks that fold there legs up into their still moist breast as they fly? This would protect the eggs in a wet layer of down from the wind speed as well as the outside air. Think of how many millions of birds there are in ponds at any given time and how much opportunity there would be for everything to come together for this to happen just right. It'd only need to be a 1/1,000,000 success rate for this to prove itself as a legitimate way for fish to be introduced to a waterbody. Probability tends to put people off, especially mathmatical thinkers, but everyday there are reminders that nature is not governed by probability and math. All I'm saying is you could spend 50 years studying this exact situation and never come close to replicating the sheer numbers we're talking about in nature.
My point exactly. Even if the odds are one in millions all it takes is a male and female egg...
BTW herons also fold their legs up next to their bodies when they fly don't they?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
