This American Coot was rescued by workers at one of the lakes in Mammoth this past winter. He had fishing line wrapped around both legs. After evaluation and initial care from ESWC volunteer Christina Ackerman, he was released and rejoined more than 100 American Coots crowded into what open water remained in the nearly-frozen lake. A month later, a second Coot was rescued by ESWC's Rescue and Return Team at Bishop City Park. The bird also had fishline around one leg and the line was frozen into the ice. Hanging from the gazebo, Sandra Kupelian was able to cut the line and free the bird, who was scooped up in a net by Art Lillund. Christina Ackerman also helped with the rescue. The bird spent several days at ESWC resting his abraded leg and fattening up a little before being returned to the park. |
