David from AAnimalControl.com got the below info from a specialist at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey:
If the bird doesn’t appear to be injured you should leave it alone (this includes young birds that often learn to fly from the ground up). If the bird is obviously injured or a baby with lots of downy feathers then it should go to a licensed rehabber. Birds of prey should not go to the Orange County Audubon society, but the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. If people call Orange Audubon, they will be unable to help. Also note that the rehabbers who also treat mammals in the Orlando are (Back To Nature, Ron & Carol, Lindy) will also take in orphaned or injured birds, and SeaWorld will treat injured water birds. SeaWorld water bird rescue number is 407-363-2363. None of these rehab facilities are capable of rescue but Orange, Seminole, and Osceola animal control will occ. rescue birds and transport. Animal control will only rescue if the bird is contained in a box or kennel or easily captured (they will not get birds stuck in a tree, house, or building).
Your best bet is to leave the bird alone.
If you happen upon a bird of prey (hawk, falcon, owl, etc) call the Orlando Audubon Center for Birds of Prey at 407-644-0190. Please give the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey a donation so that they can continue to run their facility.
