A conservation officer from Des Moines Iowa used his markmanship skills to free an Eagle from a tree branch high up on a cliff. The article tells an amazing tale of how the officer made the shot into a tree limb to attempt to free the Eagle which became stuck in a knot hole in the tree branch and the bird was hanging upside down from the branch high on a cliff, which left all other options of rescue impossible. The best quote came from one of the officers co workers who state "i expected to see a poof of feathers". Rather than the poof of feathers the officer made a miraculous shot and freed the bird from it's trap and it flew away into the sunset no worse for the wear.
