Roadiepig's Fotothing

If you look at the pelican on the left, you can see why he ended up at the zoo. Both birds were found injured at local lakes, tangled up in fishing monofilament line. Both ended up having parts of their wings amputated, and neither can fly (effectively- they have to trim a few feathers so they don't try to fly away 4 feet off of the ground.)

I never leave trashed fishing line behind when I'm fishing, and if I see a pile of it someone else was to lazy to throw away I do it for them. These two were lucky they were found quickly enough. Many waterfowl die every year because of lazy fishermen...
