The osprey rescued on Sunday from a tree is on the road to recovery. The bird, says Joseph Sandstrom – the officer who rescued the bird – was taken to the Toms River Avian Center for care.
“He is currently being treated for a sprained wing and the injury sustained by the hook penetrating his foot,” says Officer Sandstrom. “He is given a 50 – 60% chance to recover fully. Unfortunately, if he is a breeding male, there is a chance that his nest may fail without his presence.”
Meanwhile, Officer Sandstrom is being hailed as a hero around the Internet worldwide, after the exclusive TLS video went viral. TLS has received requests to use the footage from multiple National media outlets and viral video sites.

Nice cool Video
A beautiful and touching story for a change. We need that. Kudos to the Officers.
Amazing video! Hopefully the poor guy is still a juvenile and doesn’t have a nest to attend to. I hope he recovers 100%!
