If you find an injured owl:
Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.
Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.
Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.
If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.

Beautiful.
This is the one where he's a majestic owl, soaring high over the fore . . . wait
It's already living the dream! 😊
Wow, her stomach looks so fluffy :o
They are fluffy and fabulous!
Here's an actual good looking photo of the belly.
But these are better because I got to meet and hold this special little guy!
It's a bigger small owl, but it feels like an empty tin can. Owls are so light! Most are around 50% fluff by volume.
Thanks for this. New lockscreen background
Awesome! They are very lovely owls. 🥰
