Oh man that sucks. I'm wondering why it can't fly though. I've seen wild birds (crackles mostly) with one leg so maybe it can recover.

It kinda did when it moved out of sight so it might just not want to fly so it doesn't have to land (avoid putting weight on its leg).

Possums and raccoons gotta eat, same as worms.
There's been a wounded goose living on the pond near my house. It doesn't fly and it's the meanest goose I've ever seen. I've been hoping for weeks that a coyote would get it.

Just last week there was a similar situation at my place. A baby bird was in the patch of grass outside my front door. The apartment complex landscaping company came by to mow the grass. When I got home, there was pieces of bird all over the fence.
I should have killed that bird myself.

My wife, the animal trainer, says call a local vet and ask them if they know of a wildlife rehab center close. If you can get the bird into a cardboard box, take it to the rehab center.
Lots of those places do really good work. The squirrel we rescued whose little back legs didn't work overcame the temporary paralysis thansk to ours. :)
