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.

This will forever be one of my absolute favorite images that I have ever taken..
As autumn blankets the landscape in warm hues of orange and gold, the owl emerges as a symbol of wisdom and mystery.
Wow that’s a lovely shot look at those autumn colours!
I liked how we still get a bit of green with that moss/lichen on the tree too!
Autumn is probably my favorite season, so I've really been enjoying these pics. I feel it contrasts the owls very nicely as well.
Yeah autumn is pretty good. Shame about the fireworks imo, I had the experience of the 1812 overture in my fucking kitchen yesterday unfortunately. I’m right next to a park where there’s a big display - poor old crows, mice etc must have got the fright of their lives!
I'm next to a firework park also. I always seem to catch the bats losing their minds from it.
It's the same show every year too, so I feel bad they get all scared for the same old thing.
I saw some cities doing drone light shows. I wonder if that is any better.
