Snared Egret

I found this just yesterday, one of our beautiful, delicate, Great White Egrets, dead and tangled in fishing line.
I've seen lots of fishing lures and line hanging from trees in the Everglades, wherever roads run along canals, and thoughtless people stop to fish.
Why toss a line if you know you could never reach if it gets hung up across a canal?

When I see something like this I wonder how these brave men would like to go along on a hike deep into the swamp where they'd meet root and vine and critters, all of which could become a snare for them.
