Many years ago, in Connecticut, my father rescued a whole nest of barn swallow 
babies, trying to be fledglings. The parents built a nest in his barn (lots of 
them did so) and in this nest used fishing line. He watched them and when the 
babies were ready to leave the nest, he found them lined up on the barn beam 
with fishing line wrapped around their legs. There were 3 or 4. The parents 
dive bombed him during the rescue but he painstakingly removed all the fishing 
line from their legs. He also removed that nest because it had so much in it. 
And as far as we knew, those babies all survived and flew successfully.

 Ingrid,



The unfortunate bird  used an improperly disposed of mono-filament fishing line 
in its nest and became entangled in it. Most likely the bird starved to death. 
If it had young inside, they probably starved as well. At the Salt Point 
Natural Area and Myers Park in Lansing, the Friends of Salt Point have 
installed fishing line recycling containers to prevent such tragedies. 
Fishermen use them to dispose of unwanted line and tackle. The Lansing Parks 
Department graciously collects it and disposes it properly.
