To the Editor:
We would like to thank the two male lifeguards who were on duty Friday, June 26 near Ryerson Avenue in Beach Haven.
We were about three blocks down from the lifeguards, as the beach is being replenished. A baby sea gull landed very near us and kept falling over. We realized that its feet were bound together with plastic. We lured it with food to see if we could catch it and free its feet. A nearby fisherman let us borrow his knife to attempt to cut the plastic.
