A hawk was rescued near the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.
Officials with the New York State Bridge Authority got a report of an injured hawk and immediately stepped into action.
Crew members were able to snap a few photos with the bird and even nicknamed it "Dozer," because the hawk kept closing its eyes like it was sleepy.
Wild Mountain Birds, a rehabilitation center in the Hudson Valley, and Yonkers Contracting also helped with the rescue.
