There’s going to be some ranting here, so I advise folks to look at this nice picture of a monarch butterfly I took at Bluffer’s Park today, and move along:<\/p>\n

\"monarch<\/p>\n

In the park there was a gull that wasn’t moving like the others. I got close to it, and discovered there was a large fishing lure lodged through its beak. I had no way of helping it, and a nearby parks crew couldn’t do anything either. It could fly, just, but the big lure slowed it down, and the trailing fishing line mad it stumble.
\nI know gulls are often seen as nuisance birds, but no animal deserved
\nthis fate. There’s no fishing and no kite flying in this park because there are so many birds. I’m angry that someone could be so thoughtless.<\/p>\n

There’s a picture below the fold. You probably don’t want to see it.<\/p>\n
