The line had been cut from the tree and whoever it was just let the bird go like that! Every time i would get close it would walk back up into the woods.
If your gonna take the time to cut the bird loose, wouldn't you try and free the line from the bird so it could survive? Most normal people would!

When I go to some of my fishing spots I take trash bags to pick up as much trash as I can. But some places I could not even make a dent so I try to pick up the most dangerous stuff to wild life....fishing line. The Caney...Center Hill are not too bad. Pickwick is horrible....Nickajack is not as bad but it is bad enough. When my girl friend goes with me fishing she will spend sometimes all of her time out picking up trash. There is so much of it you just can't make a dent in it alone.
