Met this curious Eastern Screech Owl at Raptor Weekend in Bristol, RI Audubon. Such a small bird with a big personality!

For owls that are superb.

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 feel this was supposed to be some Snow White or Twilight fanfic type scene, but it definitely gives me more crime scene vibes.
The model really does look a corpse.
It’d be an awful typecasting, like Walter Koenig playing ensign Chekhov
Koenig was seriously awesome as an antagonist in Bab5. Typecasting sucks.
She could always play Kathleen Peterson!
Typecasting is kinda crazy. You were sooooo good at this thing, that's why we can never see if you're as good at anything else.
It's hard to imagine Breaking Bad without Cranston at this point, and I thought Robin WIlliams (One Hour Photo, World's Greatest Dad), and even Adam Sandler (Punch Drunk Love), did good in their serious roles.
Seriously!
Most Twilight fanfics are crimes against humanity, so you're not that far off
My ex had me try to watch a few of those movies with her, but I was not able to maintain consciousness through any of them. I tried. None of the relationship options seemed particularly healthy anyway.
I've genuinely tried reading the original books, hoping it's the adaptation issues. They're not better
