Attacked by Egret at Beach
Ok, so it I wasn't attacked, just bitten and clawed at a few times. (enough to draw blood) A little further down from where I was in the water I could see a man trying to remove fishing line wrapped around the Egret, so off I go to help. He had the easy job of removing the line..a lot of it. I was trying to hold the bird without hurting it, of course the bird was not aware that I was trying to be kind, so I got pecked on the face, head and arms and then he decided he liked the feel of his bill just being clamped down on my hand. Did you know their claws are sharp? They are. I survived and I am very, very happy to say all of the fishing line was removed and off he went. Now we all know that the group I was with were watching from shore and laughing their butts off. See if I help them when they are wrapped in fishing lineI'm just enjoying my ride on the trip around the sun.Tags: None -

It therefore makes no sense to praise or condemn anyone on the grounds they are a free willed self that made one choice but could have chosen something else. There is no evidence that such a situation is possible in our Universe. Demonstrate otherwise and I will be thrilled.Comment

Claudia, Get a Tetanus shot.Liberty and Equal Justice not "Social Justice" FOR ALL.
“Property is the fruit of labor…property is desirable…is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.” Abraham LincolnComment

I once helped catch a pelican with fishing line problems on venerial, uh, excuse me, Imperial Beach, near San Diego. The first thing I did was throw my jacket over its head. They quiet down a lot when they can't see. It's like putting the sheet over the canary cage or the hood over the falcon.

Is it any harder than putting a hood on a Mercury Comet of the same vintage?

I Saved a bird today
That my cat had stalked and forced into my fishpond
I'm sitting there meditating, when all of a sudden, a bird flies into the pond, and my cat appears, wondering 'Where did my prey go?'
Bird flops and flutters on the surface, then stops moving, preparing to drown, I suppose...
I'm there with a net, scoop her up and launch her into a tree...She flies off...
Man, that felt good...
