FL: Volunteer wades into pond at night to rescue Great Egret ...

An elderly gentleman called to report a great egret entangled in fishing line and struggling on a branch a few feet above a pond. Since he was unable to retrieve the bird, we called a volunteer "Conservancy Critter Courier" to help with the rescue.

Always gutsy to go near pond waters at night in Florida!

So glad to hear the egret recovered!
