Watching the eagle's nest this evening, I notice that a tradgedy has been averted. Some type of baling twine or nylon string was brought to the nest by one of the parents inadvertently with some grass. "Tiny", the third and last eaglet to hatch, for by what sounds like most of the day, had that twine wrapped around his right leg and was unable to move much and therefore wasn't able to get to the food source much.
But as of this night, eaglet #2 grabbed the twine and pulled and pulled and somehow must have loosened it enough and "Tiny" pulled it the rest of the way off. By the sounds of the computer chat room that goes on at the site, many people were very anxious, and rightly so. When you get to watch these little beings hatch and grow to where they are now, it is very distressing to see any of them in trouble.
The twine remains in the nest. Perhaps one of the parents will toss it out at some point. It's a real danger to all of them.
People are careless and thoughtless. My co-worker who lives just east of town says that people come out to their grid road on a regular basis and just toss their garbage bags into the ditch or along side the trees right by their place.
WHAT KIND OF PERSON WHOULD DO THAT?????.....I ask you.
Ya, I thought you'd agree with me on that one. Lazy. Ignorant. Thoughtless. Foolish. Selfish.
All those words add up to "forest garbage dumpers", whose names need to be made public. They are a disgrace to the environment and to the human race.
I think, since God made all the forests for us to enjoy, he would agree with my assessment.
