While on my morning walk, a few days ago, with my dog(Big Guy) I came across a Robin(Wisconsin State Bird) that was hanging from a tree like a bat. Some how it got fish line wrapped tight to its left leg around a tree branch.
I called animal control, but they don't assist with wildlife. So I got a scissors and my soon-to-be brother-in-law, Eric, saw what I was trying to do and got me a stool.
As I approached, the bird fluttered at first and pecked at my hand once. But as I lowered the branch and talked to it, it got really calm/still and let me put the scissors flush between its leg and that line...I thought to myself that this bird is going to gauge my eyes out, but I was determined to save it...and snip...
...it flew free in an instant.
My good deed for the day was done.
