This is a situation that usually doesn’t end well and is all too common.
Pam Kopen was photographing waterfowl at Harveys Lake last fall when she snapped a few pictures of this Canada goose running across the water. When she took a closer look at the pictures, she noticed a length of fishing line, with lure attached, tangled around the feet of the goose.
While the goose could fly despite the tangled line, it’s possible the tangle could’ve grown worse over time. Let’s hope the bird freed itself of the fishing line before it headed south for the winter. In any event, situations like this are easily avoided by simply cleaning up while enjoying a day on the water.
Capture anything interesting on your hand-held or trail camera? A nice buck, bear, coyote or any other wildlife? We’d love to see it. Each week, we’ll run photos from a reader’s trail camera on the Sunday Outdoors page. Email your photo, along with date and area it was taken (township is fine), and any other details to [email protected].
