Answer 1

Allow it to rgain its sences and strenght and chances are it will fly away.  If it does not then call DNR

Answer 2

Buzzards are vultures.  Hawks are hawks.

Do not attempt to feed or handle the bird. They are protected by law. You cannot bring it into your home.

If it is injured - call a raptor center or wildlife rehabilitator who specializes in birds of prey. They are not only trained and equipped experts, but they are also the only people who can legally care for native wild birds in North America.

In the US, rehabilitation is regulated by the Federal government and State DNR (Dept of Natural Resources), or Dept of Fish and Game. Services are free to the public, as all native wild birds are protected by federal law.

There are several sites with listing of rehabbers, although the easiest way to find one is to search Yahoo! or Google for "wildlife rehabilitation + your state (try both full and abbreviated)". Also search on DNR or DFG  + rehabilitation + your state.

You may be able to find a contact for a nearby rehabber through your local humane society, animal shelter, or police department.
