This Osprey had an unfortunate situation. He some how ended up stuck in power lines and couldn't free himself. Apparently the osprey got his feet tangled in a fishing lure and the fishing lure got hung up on the power lines. A lineman rescued the bird using a net and then untangling it's feet from the lure. Check out the photos below.

Great story! Glad it had a happy ending. Usually when raptors are involved with powerlines it ends with them being electrocuted
