As far as I know it is illegal for you to catch it, unless someone knows
otherwise. Presumably the rehab staff are allowed to do their work but I
thought they had to have the bird caught by someone with a permit.

We have one male Anna's that has been coming to our feeder regularly...about
2 days ago he started sitting on the perch for hours at a time, bill pointed
straight up and body bobbing a bit, like he was panting. He'd try to drink
but I don't think he was successful. I called Audubon after I found on line
that he probably has a fungal infection of his tongue which is now swollen
and protruding from his beak. They said if we could catch it somehow and
bring it into the wildlife rehab center, they could treat it. There's the
rub: we have no idea how to catch it. We have no net. It's still well enough
to fly away to our nearby crabapple when we get too close. It's been SO hard
to watch this poor little guy who is essentially starving to death. He's
struggling. This is almost too much for me...any suggestions? I know, I
know....because nature. Still, my soft heart is breaking for this little guy.
