Thanks for helping the cleanup! :) Sad to hear there is so much stray line.

I once went on a trip to the Potomac river to go fishing.  I spent pretty much ALL my time picking up line.  

Yes. We were there in time for these two birds but countless others have paid the price of fishermen's carelessness! 

Terwilligers Pond is a popular tourist fishing spot, which may explain the incredible amount of fishing line all over it.

As a fisherman who is also an avid bird lover, this REALLY pisses me off.  

If you cant show some responsibility when fishing, then fucking go home, and don't come back.

Thanks for what you did for the birds and for posting for education.
