The threats of ecological contamination from human thoughtlessness were evidenced at the pond behind Marlin Mall in Meerensee on Sunday when a hadeda ibis was discovered captured in a plastic bag.
Fortunately for this specific animal, help was at hand in the form of a young couple who were fishing for bass when they found the stricken bird.
Tyson Barnes and Kate Brits, popular in regional browsing circles, quickly released the hadeda, and made certain it recuperated and was still healthy adequate to be launched back into the wild.
