Hmmmm… If you were able to catch it – most likely the Raptor Center would have taken it.
A buddy of mine ran into a bald eagle that couldn’t fly. After making a few calls (DNR and The Raptor Center) they told him if he could catch it – then bring it in. He thought how am I ever going to catch this bald eagle without getting injured himself? Well he went up to it, threw his coat over its head and the eagle calmed right down. He even transported it himself on his snowmobile. Then he put it in his dog box and later on took it to the Raptor Center in Mpls.
