The Strong Island Rescue League recently teamed up with Sweetbriar Nature Center to save a swan trapped in a fishing hook and line.
The rescue league says they received a call reporting that the animal was unable to fly because the hook and line were stuck on his neck and wing.
It took multiple attempts to bring the swan to safety.
Once they managed to reach the shore, they were able to remove the hooks and access him.
He was then freed and returned to the water.
