Vacation Day 1: we stopped to stretch our legs in Barry's Bay and found a distressed loon. It had fishing line wrapped all around its beak and neck and the line extended into the lake dozens of metres. We cut the bird free, gathered and discarded the line and drove 2 hours the wrong direction to get to the nearest wildlife centre. They got the rest of the line out of its beak, throat and stomach and the bird should pass the tiny fragment of hook without issue. We're driving the poor loon back to its lake.
If you fish, PLEASE don't throw fishing line away. It can kill birds.
