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.

wait eurasian eagle beat bfo? that's surprising
Rarity seems to not be advantageous this year. I was a bit surprised as it did better than the Eagle Owl last year.
I love the Blakiston's, but I kinda don't want it to do well as it is rare enough it is really hard to get pics of, which is why I don't post it during the year. If it keeps winning, I think I would run out of pics to use.
It's too good of an owl to not put in the contest though, so I lose either way! 😜 A little "behind the scenes" peak.
Just flip the pic horizontally and post it more than a couple of months apart - we'll never know! :D
🤣
