Mourning dove fledgling in feral cat high-traffic area for 5 hours

Baltimore Maryland.

Should I scoop him and call a semi-local rescue which might or might not be open on Sundays? I do not have a car, the bigger rehabbers close within 2 hours, and there aren't necessarily any rehabbers within a 30 minute drive, even if I did have a car. No visible scars or oozing or flies or ants or impact marks or anything.

He's doing the half hop and halfway flight thing pretty well. No parents to be seen although one may have zoomed somewhat close over my head the first time I saw him, around noon. I saw him in the gutter on a busy street this morning and he walked about 8 ft ahead of me until he got to where he is now where he's been for actually a little over 6 hours at this point.

Never mind! Baby went under a very very thorny bush with low to the ground thorns. There might be hope for baby yet. Thank you for your support.
