Rick is absolutely right about not rescuing (kidnapping) a healthy youngster. 
Unfortunately, that was not the case with this one. 

The hatchling was found by a hiker that saw it sitting in the trail & when she 
returned an hour later it was lying helplessly on its side & had not moved. She 
drove it to me from Cleveland. Sadly it did not survive. When I got the chick 
it was struggling to breathe, unresponsive & died a short time later.
