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.

From Harold Wilion

I haven't been out shooting for almost a couple weeks, which is a long time for me. And the last photos I took, others posted almost the same shot and I don't post on top of other's similar photos if I see them, so I haven't posted anything for a while. But the snow looked so pretty yesterday, I figured I'd man up and venture out for an evening shoot. I'm glad I did.

It was the first time saw this cutie in the "zit" hole. I find that term unappealing, although it definitely fits the bill. Not only by the way it looks, but since the hole is so tiny, it's almost impossible for her to hang out of the hole much, so when she makes the decision to go, it's a real quick thing and she just "pops" out of the hole, well, like popping a zit. Ya, enjoy your lunch!

Harold has such a way with words... 😟
