A nice couple from Niceville (who else would live there?) tried to save a seagull they spotted out of Okaloosa Island. They weren’t able to catch the bird.
The poor thing has a fish hook caught through its beak.
The bird has found a way to survive. It moistens the bread people toss to it to soften it so that it can get it into its mouth.
Sad.
A spokesperson from the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge indicated that half of the shore birds treated each year are caught up in fishing lines and hooks. Discarded lines are not only a nuisance, they take several hundred years to degrade and cause distress for an untold number of fish and fauna.
