Just to update anyone who might be thinking of still trying for this bird.
Doesn't look good. Evidently the bird has been lethargic the last couple of
days, and now has a badly broken wing possibly from an eagle attack.
Regretfully,

This is Steve Holzman (of the USFWS) and I just spoke with Steven Rector of
the Corps (he's out at the dam area now). To clarify, neither one of us
have any problem with a rehabber capturing the bird if the bird is indeed
injured. The rehabber would already have any necessary permits.
I'm not saying this is either of our official policies on what to do with
this bird, but neither one of us is saying anything against capture and
attempted rehabilitation.
Hopefully, that clarifies the issue. I am not aware of any rehabber being
called in at this point.
