Wildlife Wednesday — lake Estes Cleanup
By Andy Ames
What do all of these birds have in common? They can all be found at Lake Estes and all can get caught up in fishing line. Fishing line is meant to be strong and nearly invisible. Often it also includes hooks, weights, or bobbers. Inevitably it can get caught up in rocks, branches, trees, and bushes. Whether you are a diver, dabbler, or song bird this can be a huge hazard.
This Saturday the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition is hosting its annual fishing line clean up. Please come down and join us if you can. We hope to see you there.
