Dramatic Bird Rescue at Desert Botanical Garden (Roadrunner)

[Donna]

Early this morning wildlife photographers Jeff Stemshorn and Saija Lehtonen discovered a Greater Roadrunner hanging upside down in the cactus, just a few feet from her nest at Desert Botanical Garden.  Upon closer inspection they realized that she was not just wedged among cactus spines, but that her feet were hopelessly entangled in fishing line.  Initial attempts to free the bird with resources readily available were not successful. (Grrrr)

Thankfully a good outcome on this one!  Beep beep!
