What kind of bird is this?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/40356135@N05/?saved=1

Please don’t tell me I shouldn’t have picked it up. It was in a city, on the street, not in a natural habitat. It doesn’t fly, if I release it where it was found, a dog, cat or car will get it. I just want to know what to feed it. Tomorow, when the humane society opens, I can consult with them. Please no rude comments, I am a responsible adult trying to help, not a kid abducting a playtoy.
The pet store sold me some duck food, it doesn’t want it. I am getting ready to feed it baby goldfish with a clothespin, and/or live worms.

I think it’s a ‘juvenile black-crowned night heron’

Its diet consists mainly of fish, though it is frequently rounded out by other items such as leeches, earthworms, aquatic and terrestrial insects. It also eats crayfish, mussels, squid, amphibians, lizards, snakes, rodents, birds, eggs, carrion, plant materials, and garbage and refuse at landfills.
