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.

Photo with the "Notice" sign.
Looks like AI generated.
I checked it by few AI detectors, it's human made.
I do think it might be a side effect of a upscaling algorith. It's what enables the smartphone cameras to take high-res pictures, but it can struggle at times.
I looked at it again, and I'm leaning toward it being upscaling, as this guy seems legit, but I'll move the pic here and put a new one as the head post pic.
Yeah I think that's just upscaling, the janky letters above prohibited clearly read "DISCHARGING OF FIREARMS"
The text looks too "natural" compared to AI gibberish text, but it does look AI "corrected."
With the distance of some of these shots and how much they have to crop them, it wouldn't shock me.
I appreciate everyone's sharp eyes though, I don't want to post any complete fakes by accident. I try to vet my sources to ones that seem reliable, but I'm not a photographer or Photoshop/Lightroom guru, so I don't want anyone to not point stuff out if they spot it.
I know we get into shades of gray with things like composite images you guys have educated me about and some people really tweak colors and we can edit out branches and such, and the line between real and fake gets blurry. It doesn't mean we can't appreciate some of these things, but people should be transparent about it.
Yeah I think that's just the funkiness of the light hitting a very 3-D object and more of a 2-D one at the same time.
Where does one find these AI detectors? That seems like something useful.
Top 5-ish results from my DuckDuckGo query:
- https://aiimagedetector.org/
- https://aidetectcontent.com/ai-generated-image-detector/
- https://sightengine.com/detect-ai-generated-images
- https://wasitai.com/
- https://ai-contentdetector.com/
So, if 4/5 agree with each other, you should have right answer.
They give some interesting results. I tried the sign photo and a few pics I took over the weekend of a woodpecker and it says I'm much more AI than I had thought. 😅
I'm not as up to date on tech as I used to be, so this was a fun experiment anyway!
That's an amazing shot! I hope our SEO was victorious, as they should be.
Everyone's gotta eat!
With Shorty like that it looks like it may have already got something and the harrier is trying to claim it called "dibs."
Harrier: I saw it first!
