Highly recommend contacting a licensed (including federal permit to handle birds) and experienced wildlife rehabilitator to capture this wounded GBH. They are dangerous to handle, even for experts (and yes, they will try to peck your eyes out). I highly recommend contacting:
Moran Hapeman 607-227-2622 [email protected] She is located in Lodi NY. If she can not help, she is a good source of recommending wildlife rehabilitators capable of this task in your area. If she can not be reached, please reach out to your regional DEC office. They also have trained staff to handle a bird like this. Thank you for your efforts to help this bird.
