Roseate Spoonbill

Roseate Spoonbill

May 1, 2017, Galveston County, Texas

Notes: A Roseate Spoonbill tangled up in fishing line. After quickly snapping this photo I was able to catch the bird and cut it free. Most birds in this situation are not so lucky. Discarded fishing gear kills hundreds of thousands of birds every year.
