The bird was flopping around in the water by the dock with fishing line entangled around his neck and attached to the dock. After gathering a pool pole and net and a pair of scissors, I was able to lift the bird from the water and remove the fishing line, which was so tight it was almost embedded in the neck. After removing the line, the Coot pooped on me and happily swam away.

Whenever I see fishing line I pick it up and dispose of it all the while complaining to everyone in the vicinity about how hazardous it is to wildlife. Discarded fishing line is a senseless and indiscriminate killer of wildlife and there should be serious fines for not properly disposing of it.
