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.

Found this random little owl while looking for new content.
I do believe this is another Saw Whet.
It's from one of those weird feeds that's full of random questionable things, but you all like the owls in towels so I'll make an exception for unverified content.
I also noticed it had a very unusual set of tags. I'm not sure what type of audience they are going for here... Facebook feeds can be very strange.
I guess the crossover is... nice hooters?
That was my thought until I saw Christian Bale and Chris Evans. At least they threw in something for the ladies to keep it fair...
Hey, Chris Evans has some nice hooters too ✊
He can do this all day... 😜
