Wow--sounds like a tremendous team effort! Thank you to Bob, Tim, and Dan for rescuing this bird. And most importantly, kudos to SeEtta for recognizing the dire situation this bird was in and taking the initiative to do something about it. Great job all!

Thanks to the coming together of different people and entities in Cañon City, the young osprey on the nest at Valco Ponds was saved at 6 a.m. Sept. 16.

Local resident and wildlife photographer Char Lindner said that SeEtta Moss, a local bird expert, had been studying the young osprey and noticed it had not left to begin its southward migration. She notified Bob Carochi of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife that the bird seemed to be entangled.

Carochi, after receiving permission from the property owners, had help from Tim Koehn and Dan O'Shea, journeyman lineman with Black Hills Energy, who lifted Carochi up in the Black Hills bucket lift to help the bird.

What he found were cords and baling twine, completely ensnarling the legs and talons of the osprey so that it could not fly from the nest.

Moss had been watching its mother bringing in food when, at its maturity, it should have been doing this on its own, Lindner said.  Carochi covered the bird with a towel and proceeded for almost half an hour cutting the twine and cords. Once freed, the bird flew off to a nearby tree.

"Thanks to our Cañon City neighbors for caring and for saving the bird," Lindner said.
