I’d talk to a wildlife rescue person first about what the risks and
recommendations are in a situation like this: bird flu is a serious issue,
and not something you’d want to get or spread. There are likely precautions
/ safety gear required to minimize exposure.
International Bird Rescue in Fairfield takes water/sea birds (I’m not sure
about shorebirds), so you could talk to them:

Aside from that, unless the bird is basically immobile in an accessible
spot, your chances of catching it might be low (ie, if it can fly or run
any distance over mud). Above all, make sure it’s safe for rescuers before
proceeding.
