Gull Hooked with Fishing Lure at WW

October 1 Email:

I took these pictures at the Wastewater last Wednesday. This Ring-billed Gull was on the north wall of the western lagoon. Didn't figure anyone would be able to catch the bird. But then I thought perhaps it might get so weak perhaps someone could rescue it.

Thanks,

Thanks for the photos, Rog.  It's not likely, but I hope someone will be able to help this bird.  - Ric
