I wonder whether the Bird CLub should take up a new project: a sign, using a photo such as Paul's (I couldn't actually bring myself to look at it), the sign to include something like "Dispose of your used line wisely", to be placed near fishing areas, would make people pay more attention to this awful issue. It would be controversial and upsetting to some people....but then, so what?? STuff happens that way.

However, at Myers in a tree by the creek a Kingfisher had gotten trapped in fishing line with predictable and tragic results. Don't look if you are easily upset... https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/VB5Pmc14LEr9HVGdHnGVhdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink -Paul -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
