If I could do it myself I could release him back to the exact spot where I found him... I went to Walmart and got a large cage, some food and a self adhesive wrap w/o any glue.
The wing was wrapped against the body in a natural position and the bird placed in the cage in a separate room, I watched to make sure it was breathing well and covered him for the night. The next morning he was eating and drinking water.
