Coming home from work on Friday I saw this eagle hopping along the ground, hurt. I called the Wildlife sanctuary but by the time they got here he was nowhere to be found.

Could this be your little fella? if so, he is apparently a red-shouldered hawk.
Yeah..err I meant hawk not eagle. Baron, that actually looks very very similar...does it matter that it was in FL and not IL? Nice catch nonetheless!
your dad would tell you that they are quite common in FL....I call him "the birdman" of the family
