Found last night in rural Georgia. Can you help identify?

Not real sure but maybe a Red-tailed Hawk fledgling.

Is it injured, or in danger from a predator? Just wondering why it was collected rather than left for parents to tend.

Update: The folks who found it took it to the Auburn University Raptor Center where it is undergoing rehab. Identified as a Red Shouldered Hawk.

I'm happy to hear they found a center to assist the bird.
