The very BEST thing you can do is to find a LICENSED wildlife re-habber in your state, not just someone who is 'good with animals'. The Department of Fish & Game or the US Fish and Wildlife Service will have such a list. In MANY states, it is illegal to touch or pick up a migratory bird, such as a Bald or Golden Eagle, and often well intentioned people will not recognize an immature eagle (they don't get their white feathers until they are 5 years old). You can get yourself into serious trouble by trying to be helpful! If a bird looks like it is in serious trouble or a life-threatening situation, you may gently move it out of harm's way, but bringing it inside your house, or, worse yet, thinking you can raise it as a "cool pet" is mistaken. If the bird imprints on you, then it can never be returned to the wild and must either be rehomed as an education or zoo bird or euthanized.
