Massachusetts environmental police officers rescued a bird while patrolling the mouth of Massachusetts Bay, between Cape Cod and Cape Ann Wendesday.

The Northern Gannet was found with a fishing lure through its foot and body.

The bird was said to be in good health after the hooks were removed and released back into the wild after a brief observation period.
