The Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter said Sportsplex officials called to report the stuck bird of prey at the North Branford facility.

Rescuers arrived and carefully disentangled the hawk's talons from the net.

The hawk was taken to rehabilitation center A Place Called Hope to receive treatment for torn tendons. Officials said the bird will eventually be returned to the wild.
