Second Canada Goose rescue 9/7/26 (fishing line goose). Halls Pond Park
The miracle release of our Valley Stream Canada Goose with the ring around her head and mouth put me in the area of Halls Pond Park at the exact time Matthew posted for help for a goose with fishing line. I headed there to meet Matthew after I released our beautiful ring goose. While we were waiting for the geese to start coming out of the water we actually saw a young Canada goose with part of a wig wrapped around her beak that also needed help. God truly works in mysterious ways.
We had to deal with a lot of human interference like we usually do on rescues but this pond was even more so than any other rescue Iāve done. It was making both rescues difficult but we waited and were patient and God gave us opportunities to save both.
We had to deal with people feeding in the water when we asked them not to, people using toy boats to try to get the geese out of the pond even though I told them it would just cause a panic and there is no way you will catch a flighted bird that is alert and in a state of panic. They didnāt listen and continued but Matthew and I just waited it out and as soon as they left the geese calmed down and thatās when we ended up being given opportunities to secure the Canada Goose with the wig around its beak and then the Canada Goose with the fishing line around its leg.
This Canada Goose had fishing line wrapped tightly around her leg. If left, it would have cut off circulation to her foot and her foot wouldāve died but luckily we got her and removed it in time. She had an indent in the leg but there was no embedding or cutting of the leg so she was able to be released right back to the flock. She may limp for a few days while her leg gets back to normal.
Please keep the homes of our wildlife clean. Keeping their homes clean protects animals and keeps their homes safe from harmful trash. šš¼ā„ļø#animalrescue #wildlife #wildanimals #compassion #fishing

This Canada Goose is one lucky goose or is it a Canada goose cow! āØ
Thanks to a Good Samaritan who contacted Wildlife Center of LI, I was alerted to a goose tangled in fishing line in the middle of Guggenheim Lake. I headed over and, with the help of Trish and her son, Nicholas was able to borrow a kayak from them and reach the sweet goose!
As I approached, he tried to fly but was pulled right back down. I knew he was tethered and needed help immediately. I secured him, cut the line holding him in place, and carefully brought him back to shore with the line still tightly wrapped around his neck.
With Trish, Christine, Nicholas and Daniel waiting at the dock, we quickly worked together to remove every bit of line. Thankfully, Wildlife Center of LI gave us the all-clear, and we released him right back home. He happily flapped his wings, had a drink and began preening near his flock. ā¤ļø
FISHING LINE IS DANGEROUS! It can entangle, choke, injure and ultimately kill wildlife. This is the FIFTH fishing line incident in just ONE WEEK that could have ended in tragedy.
Please dispose of fishing line properly and never leave it behind. What may seem like a harmless piece of line can become a death trap for wildlife.
Thank you to the Good Samaritan who spoke up and reached out to the Wildlife Center and everyone who helped give this goose a second chance! ā¤ļø#animalrescue #wildlife #wildanimals #compassion #fishing

Rescue: 11/4/26
Thankfully, Chrissy spotted fishing line on the resident swan at her lake in Eastport. She didnāt know it at the time, but the situation was much worse than it appeared. While she knew there was line tangled around the swanās leg, she couldnāt see that it was also wrapped around her neck several timesāeffectively tethering her neck directly to her right leg. This restriction could have ended in a tragic drowning or strangulation at any moment. Discarded fishing gear is a quiet but deadly threat to wildlife, turning a peaceful habitat into a lethal trap.
When I pulled up, another amazing local homeowner named Peter was already on the scene and ready to help. Because Chrissy has built a wonderful relationship with this swan over time, the rescue went incredibly smoothly. Once the swan was safely secured, Chrissy, Peter, and I immediately began working together to cut her free.
During the process, Peter made an excellent point that every rescuer and outdoor enthusiast should remember: when removing line that is buried deep under a birdās feathers, you must proceed with extreme caution unless you can see every single inch of it. Lures and hooks can easily hide beneath the plumage. Moving slowly and carefully is essential; thankfully, in this case, there was no hook attached. However, you should always assume a hidden lure is present to avoid accidentally embedding a hook in yourself or injuring the animal further.
Once every piece of line was cleared, we gave her a thorough health check. Finding no deep wounds, we were able to release her right back onto her home pond to live a peaceful swan life once again.
Chrissy caught this just in time. If she hadnāt, the outcome for this beautiful bird would have been devastating. This swan is incredibly lucky to have such dedicated guardians watching over herāwith Chrissy, Peter, and their families looking out for her, she is bound to stay happy and safe!#animalrescue #wildlife #wildanimals #compassion #fishing

Remember the cormorant that was rescued on 11/20 at Belmont Lake State Park? Tara spotted him tangled tightly in fishing line, with a dangerous six-hook lure pierced right into his wing. Cases like this are a stark reminder of just how deadly discarded fishing gear and lost lures can be to local wildlife.
Fortunately, this story has a happy ending! Janine from Sweetbriar Nature Center called with the best news: he was fully recovered and ready to go back to his home in the wild.
A big thank you to Stephanie, who transported him to me so I could release him right after work. Thanks to that quick coordination, he had plenty of time to settle down and get comfortable before sunset!#animalrescue #wildlife #wildanimals #compassion #fishing

Rescue: 11/02/26
I thought this afternoon was going to be a quiet release for a Canada goose, but plans quickly changed. As I walked over with the goose, Park Ranger Jack stopped meāa cormorant was tangled in fishing line on the island at Belmont Lake State Park. He was incredibly lucky that Tara from the park headquarters spotted him, or the outcome could have been tragic. This situation is a heartbreaking reminder of how dangerous abandoned fishing gear is to wildlife.
Park workers Tom, Sydney, and Amato quickly prepped the boat, and Tom and I headed out. The handsome cormorant was pinned between a tree on land and a tree in the water. Once he was secure in the net, I cut the lines to free him, brought him on board, and covered him with a towel. We made sure to collect the remaining line from the trees so no other animals would get hurt. Somehow, he had a lure embedded under his wing and more line with another hook hooked to the tree. Knowing the extraction required expert care, I brought him straight to Izzy at Sweetbriar Nature Center, who did an incredible job carefully removing the line, cutting the barbs and safely removing the hooks. Now, we wait. Captivity is deeply stressful for wildlife, especially cormorants, so please keep this sweet bird in your thoughts as he heals. šš¼
Please never just cut your line when you get snagged. Leaving line, hooks, and lures behind creates deadly traps for innocent animals. If you see discarded line on the ground or in trees, please pick it up and dispose of it properly in fishing line receptaclesā fishing line is a deadly weapon and should be treated as such. #animalrescue #wildlife #wildanimals #compassion #fishing

Release: 11/02/26
It was a case of complete Divine timing and no doubt a miracle! Enjoy the release of the beautiful Canada Goose that was rescued Tuesday at Belmont Lake State Park when I just happened to see her while checking on the flock. It isnāt as long as my release videos usually are because there was a cormorant stuck with fishing line to the island and Tom, one of the workers was picking me up with a boat. Another Divine Timing moment.
This Canda Goose was dragging about 200 feet of fishing line with a lure deeply embedded in her foot.
Leftover fishing gear is incredibly deadly to wildlife, often causing severe injuries, starvation, or slow, painful deaths. If she hadnāt been caught when she was, the outcome would have been tragic.
Thankfully, she was found before it was too late and was able to be saved. Janine successfully removed the lure, and the goose received dedicated care and treatment at Sweetbriar Nature Center while her foot healed. As you can see from the release, this beautiful goose was ready to get back to her family! Iāve never seen a goose leave that quickly lol. Seeing her back where she belongs, healthy and free, is the absolute best reward! šš¼ā„ļø#animalrescue #wildlife #wildanimals #compassion #fishing

Another case of Divine intervention! šš¼ā¤ļø
I spotted this Canada Goose with fishing line on Tuesday. As I was preparing to secure her, the entire flock started acting strangely. Thatās when I noticed a VERY long trail of fishing line, approximately 200 feet long! I initially stopped to pick it up, thinking it was just discarded line, but then I realized it was attached to another goose who had a fishing lure embedded in his foot.
Our beautiful girl with the line on her leg would have to wait because this other goose was in a life-threatening situation. If he hadnāt been secured when he was, he could have bled to death or become tangled somewhere, potentially suffering without anyone ever finding him. (Thankfully, he is doing amazing!)
On Wednesday, Karen, Irene, Pete, and I worked together with feeding and crowd control to try to secure our girl. But, as we have learned time and time again, God always has a plan. Her capture was delayed once again, but that delay allowed me to discover yet another goose in need of help.
Thankfully, God finally gave us the opportunity to get her this morning at approximately 7:30 AM! I was able to safely secure her, remove all the fishing line, and release her right back to her mate and the flock that had been waiting for her. ā¤ļø
The fishing line had left an indentation in her leg, but thankfully it hadnāt cut into the skin. She should make a full recovery!
Unfortunately, there is still ONE MORE Canada Goose with fishing line at Belmont Lake State Park. Hopefully, I can locate and help her tomorrow, and then finally get a much-needed break from that park!
Over the past few days, I have picked up an unbelievable amount of discarded fishing line, along with TWO fishing hooks carelessly left on the ground where these beautiful birds walk. #animalrescue #wildlife #wildanimals #compassion #fishing
We NEED to do better!
Fishing line and hooks are not harmless litter. They are life-threatening hazards to the wildlife that call these places home. These animals donāt have a choice about sharing their habitat with us, but we do have a choice to respect it. šš¼ā¤ļø

Rescue: Belmont Lake State Park 10/27/26
Thankfully, I went to Belmont Lake State Park today because I hate to think about what might have happened to this beautiful goose if I hadnāt.
I was checking on the flock, as I often do, when I noticed one goose with fishing line on her leg. I started my usual routine to safely secure her, but the flock seemed unusually anxious. At first, I couldnāt figure out why. I didnāt see any dogs, but then I noticed a long stretch of fishing line.
The line wasnāt clumped together, and I didnāt realize it was attached to a goose until I already had it in my hand, with it tangled around my legs. Had I known where the line was leading, I would have tried to use food to lure her in and secure her that way, which is the safest approach.
With the line tangled around me and the goose panicking, I was extremely worried about her. Thankfully, I was able to secure her quickly and get her straight to Janine at Sweetbriar Nature Center.
As always, Janine did an amazing job removing the fishing lure, and our beautiful girl should make a full recovery! ā¤ļø She will remain at the center for a while to receive antibiotics, but we are incredibly grateful that once the lure was removed, she was already standing on her foot. That was such a hopeful sign!
Wildlife should never have to suffer or die because of fishing debris left behind. Fishing line can be nearly invisible in the environment, making it especially dangerous to birds and other animals that share our parks, lakes, and waterways.
If you see wildlife entangled or hooked, contact an experienced wildlife rescuer. Please donāt attempt to remove embedded hooks or line yourself, as improper removal can cause further injury.
Our wildlife deserves to live safely in the places they call home.
I am so thankful I was there today, and incredibly grateful to Janine and Sweetbriar Nature Center for always being there to help these beautiful animals.
One life saved is one more reminder that every little bit of awareness matters. Please share to help protect our wildlife! šā¤ļø#animalrescue #wildlife #wildanimals #compassion #fishing

Rescue & Release: 10/23/26 š¦¢ā¤ļø
This rescue was a perfect example of what can happen when a community comes together with one shared goal: saving a life.
Our handsome juvenile swan, Bucky, was first spotted by Rebecca and her son, Jackson, who noticed he wasnāt using one of his legs. Shortly after, another neighbor, Kristin, discovered a fishing hook embedded in his leg. Because of its location, the hook was extremely difficult to see, making this rescue even more challenging.
A team of rescuers came together to help Bucky. After several efforts, we finally secured him today and brought him straight to Janine from Sweetbriar Nature Center to have the hook removed.
Janine makes what she does look so easy, but I can assure you, it was anything but! The hook was deeply embedded, and she had to carefully determine exactly where it had entered and how to remove it safely. As she always does, Janine worked her magic, figured it out, and successfully removed the hook. Thankfully, there was no bleeding, and Bucky was given the green light to return home!
I brought Bucky back, where one of his neighborhood guardians, Kristin helped release him. He immediately made his way back to his family, and we stayed to watch for a while as they welcomed him back with open wings. š„¹ā¤ļø
The best update came two hours later when Kristin messaged me to let me know that Buckyās wings had finally relaxed and were no longer held up. What a relief to know he was settling back in!
This is what teamwork, compassion, and community can accomplish. Every person who noticed something was wrong, shared information, helped with the rescue, or provided professional care played an important role in giving Bucky his life back. It truly takes a village, and I am so grateful for everyone who came together for him. ā¤ļøšš¼#animalrescue #wildlife #wildanimals #compassion #fishing
