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.

Any mouse not belonging to Disney is in for a tough life!
Wait for the time you'll find a picture of an owl attacking a Mickey Mouse stuff toy.
Finally!
This is a good opportunity for me to share this. Facebook tends to refresh the feed if I go idle too long or just to mess with me, making me lose the source entirely so I can't find it again.
I was making a gif of this Snowy trying to grab its dinner, but just getting a mouth full of leaves instead. The look of disappointment into the camera was great. But since I lost the source I didn't feature it.
Since it is related to today's photo and I don't want it to go to waste, here it is.
How do you make a gif? Do you use a specific software?
There's 2 web apps I use to turn MP4 to GIF:
CloudConvert is the easiest I use. It is good if the MP4 is about 10 seconds or less. You can select codec.and frame rate, but that's about it. Any longer than that and I have to cut the frames to get it to around 10MB, there seems to be a cap on .World upload size.
EZgif has more features like start and stop point, resize, reduce file size, etc
Oh... So, your starting with a video? I though you were mounting pictures together. Thanks for the explanation (^_^)
Nothing that advanced. There's just an occasional video worth sharing, but it's on Facebook, which everyone here is pretty rightly opposed to visiting, so I convert it to an image so I can upload it here.
It looks so upset with that mouthful of leaves lol
