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.

I hope this little dude gets some more love. I really like the composition of this shot. The owl looks great, thanks to that grumpy face and nifty camera angle, and the tree goes in all kinds of interesting directions. After looking at so many owl pics, the backgrounds start to grab bigger bits of my attention as well as it keeps it interesting to me to not just look at the owl, but more of the composition as a whole.
Looks like he has his arms folded like he's gonna drop a sick beat lol
I heard my local GHO freestyling as I headed out to work this morning.
Nice.
Look at that face coloration! Still so pale, not ready for the big bad world just yet.
That was my favorite part as well!
