There's not.
There's an animal control office in the Police Dept that will come and
remove wildlife (including stray dogs & cats) that threaten you, your
kids or your property.
There's an emergency (after hours) vet clinic that can put you in touch
with authorized rehabilitators for hawks & owls.
But nothing for ordinary birds & other small urban wildlife.
It doesn't look like any of the blackbirds I found on Cornell's site.
It's not glossy or iridescent like the Grackles & it has no distinctive
markings.
It's dark grey all over except for the face which appears slightly darker.
The legs and feet are dark grey or dark brown and it has brown/black
eyes. The one leg was broken completely off, held in place only by some
strands of skin or something.
It didn't make it through the night, but it doesn't look like the
neighborhood cats got it. I think the wound to its leg was bad enough it
succumbed to it.
I found it this morning when I was taking breakfast scraps out to the
compost bin.
PS: I apologize if this is a duplicate post. It's the message I was
trying to reply to when I found out Roadrunner was EFFED-UP.

I don't know what kind of bird it is but is there an animal shelter near
you that could take it in?
Cheers,
Dave

I was cutting the grass this afternoon when I saw something flopping
around trying to get away from the lawn mower. I DID NOT run over it, I
just came close to where it was semi-concealed in the grass and it was
trying to escape.
Its wings appear to be Ok, but I think it couldn't get into the air
because its legs are injured. One of them looked like it was almost
broken off at the joint.
Anyone know what kind of bird it is?

I think it's a young bird whatever it is.
I tried to put it up in some shrubbery where I thought it might have a
chance if it lives long enough for the leg to heal. But I expect one of
the neighborhood cats is probably going to get it.
