Along the same lines as raptor rescue, local spca or animal control will know where your closest wildlife rescue is. Depending on the state's regulations, wildlife rescue places may have volunteer training lessons in the spring and allow you (and DD could assist) to foster a baby bird (countless numbers of songbirds, starlings, etc are turned in by good samaritans each spring). After they fledge they are returned to be released.
By the way DS really enjoys the Cornell website you mentioned to us back a month or so ago.
After going to the desert a couple weeks ago and seeing a bunch of great birds there DS has now announced he "really needs" to go see Africa. Me too!
