Fishing Kills

And not just fish. Here is a nest hanging that is made of fishing line, expertly woven together with pieces of grass to form...a deathtrap for it's constructor. I don't know when in the nesting cycle this tragedy occurred, but that is one less bird for you to listen to, identify, or await the return of next year. Fishing line does not break down very fast. So, if you enjoy the art of luring fish to their doom with fresh and wriggling worms, please remember to dispose of your line responsibly. Loop old line around your hand so you can easily cut it into short sections, and then burn it or place it in the garbage. Try more bird friendly methods, such as spear fishing, or just grabbing the fish with your hands.

Using a proprietary technique known as UnSteadyCam, I have partially obscured the barely recognizable remains to spare children the trauma of a descicated bird, strangled in the tangling fringe of it's own nest
Comments:
I think that the Atlatl is also a good environmentally-friendly weapon/instrument to get fish. You may need to put a floatation device on the darts when you go deep sea fishing so that you can retrieve the dart and, more importantly, the fish.
 
How terrible! Laziness kills.

What was the bird?
