Similar to your situation was the osprey nest here in the San Luis Valley
where baling twine invariably ends up in the nest, creating a potential
hazard. A trim is almost needed periodically. Our local utility companies
have been very responsive. I would contact them and USFW service as well
and see what they can come up with if it happens again.
