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.

Golden hour fades into blue hour, and then blue turns to purple? Knocked a photo off my list that I wanted, alpenglow over the mountains with the owls. Also got a shot that I didn't know I wanted or needed, a pastel purple sky as this short eared owl looked at me.

I love reading things!
Well, I know a few of you do still, but I think the attention span has gone down a bit since the original #rd party app influx. The last few things that took me a couple days of work to do didn't do great, so I've gone for more quantity with the occasional article by someone else tossed in. If I come across something that requires an essay by me, I won't shoo it away, but that stuff doesn't impress the masses here anymore.
Yeah but we all know what rictal bristles are now!
And . . . some other stuff. Like the ends of the feathers and . . umm . . that owl with the eyeshadow.
Aww, I am glad you cherish your new owl knowledge.
I just gave you a transcript to read about poison in the other thread. It's got some real good info in it.
Not exactly a fun topic like owl moustaches, but it is important in regard to owl conservation. I'll keep my eyes out for some fun articles too though, just for you!
