Two good men save a gull tangled in a fish line, Pacifica pier

After.  Not so pretty... don't worry,
I've been rescued before.

Pacifica Tribune Letters to the Editor, 1/20/15.  "Gull rescue at pier" by Denise Buckley Crawford

Before. Pretty huh.. we all look alike?
Total nonsense.

"Editor: On Sunday, Jan. 11, I was on the pier and saw a two men come to the aid of a gull tangled in fish line. The man in the grey shirt (pictured here) is Ryan Peters, of Clayton, CA. A regular at the pier, Ryan told me that it often happens like this, and that he had already saved two others today."

Reference - National Audubon Society Birds/ California Gull. "Part of a complex of similar gulls, this bird closely resembles the Herring Gull or Ring-billed Gull, and is intermediate between those two in size. It nests around lakes in the interior of the west, and winters commonly along the Pacific Coast, including offshore waters."
