Tree trimming service rescues seagull caught in kite string

The Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter said in a Facebook post that a neighbor reported the seagull dangling about 50 feet over the ground in Branford on Tuesday.

The shelter contacted the Branford Fire Department for help, but the responding crew determined their bucket truck would not be able to reach the distressed bird.

Shelter officials then contacted J. Witkowsky & Sons Tree Service LLC, which has assisted with difficult animal rescues in the past.
