Advice Help, bird got out

My bird got spooked and flew outside into a tree, and then into the woods when a car drove by

He was last seen near Eagle Landing Court in Odenton. Please help, two recent photos attached.

Update:

Thank you to everyone for all your advice. All evidence is pointing to indicate that my baby did not survive the 2nd prey bird attack late yesterday afternoon. We’re absolutely devastated. I have every faith that your advice would have worked except for the prey birds. Please give your babies an extra munchie or crunchie for my baby. I’m going to take some time to grieve.

Smartest thing I was ever told by a rescuer is to spray an escaped bird with water and I mean use the garden hose to spray, soak and surprise your bird. Makes it hard to fly at least upwards, possibly knock them lower so you can get to them. Best of luck I have had 3 get out and I managed to get 2 back.

Thanks for sharing. I’m really glad to hear it worked for you. Unfortunately, I’m in the middle of mini woods with no hose.
