Cole Meyers and Jonathan Grenier saw a bird fall from its nest onto the road.
Although the bird was still a wobbly infant, its large size led the boys to believe they had found an eagle.

They took the animal to an animal hospital, where they were informed that the creature was not an eagle but a hawk.
The bird has since been transferred to the care of experts at Louisiana State University.
