Yes, Brian, I'll post this on our "Tweeters' News Group." And thank you
for doing this. From my observtions at the Des Moines Marina and fishing
pier, the wintering seabirds, especially Horned grebes, seem to be at risk
from disgarded fishing line and submerged nets.
Otherwise cheers (Tweets see Brian's request below),
Maureen
