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.

From Rodney Ervin
Somewhere out there is a little owl that is hiding in plain sight. Eastern Screech Owls are probably one of my most favorite Owls just because of their camouflage. I looked right at this owl for a couple of minutes before actually seeing it lol. Taken in Northern Indiana.
Not sure if serious, but if you're looking on a small device it could be difficult.
I know where it is and my eye still gravitates to a slightly different place, as I talk about in another comment if you didn't see that. I go into owl camo a bit in that.
Here's the answer:

I was being serious. Thank you for the assistance! I looked right at it, and sped right by. My eyes told me that those are obviously burl or limbs.
That is exactly what it's designed to do! Little ones like this Screech Owl can still be eaten by bigger owls or raptors, so they need to stay safe themselves.
Owls live everywhere people live, even in cities, but we wonder why we never see them. This is why! They're there, they just don't want anyone knowing they're there!
