On March 20, San Diego Humane Society\u2019s Project Wildlife team assisted in the rescue of an osprey, whose left leg and claws were wrapped in fishing line, tethering her to her nest high on a light pole in Ocean Beach. She had first been spotted stuck in the nest Sunday afternoon.
\nThe osprey made several desperate attempts to free herself so she could feed her three nestlings. Due to the string entrapping her foot, she could not fly away from the nest atop a spotlight near a baseball diamond at Robb Field. A partner osprey parent was also spotted nearby, overseeing the nest. This bird continued to bring food to the three nestlings since the other parent was unable.
\nThanks to a bucket truck and personnel, provided by SDG&E, rescuers could reach the bird\u2019s nest 40 feet above the ground. At the direction of Project Wildlife\u2019s senior director Dr. Jon Enyart on the ground, SDG&E crews were able to cut the bird free and bring her down to the ground.
\nEnyart immediately examined the osprey on site, cut all the lines off the bird\u2019s foot, and gave an injection for hydration. Thankfully, the Osprey had only suffered some minor scrapes and swelling from being caught in the fishing line and was released within minutes \u2014 minimizing the stress of human interaction.
\nThe osprey flew a lap around the baseball diamond, then promptly returned to her nestlings. The partner osprey immediately joined the nest as well.
