Uh, somehow that's not taking you directly to it. But you can find it by googling "guys release eagle and take selfie."
If you can find the link to the actual USAToday page, it includes (beside the world's best selfie) two videos of them finding the bird, trying to release it from the trap, and finally letting it fly away.

The bird is being cared for at The Raptor Trust.
