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.

Got this photo from my phone from the street. He was loud, hooted every 20-30 seconds. Really cool!
Awesome! You guys have been having some great encounters lately!
Looks to be a lovely GHO there. I love how you can still see the white patches on the neck and chin!
You can see them displayed nicely on my owl pal Annabelle:
Wow, so cool you can just randomly see an owl in your neighbourhood. And he was kind enough to signal his location for you. Nice shot.
Man I'm jealous! One day an owl will bless me with its presence xD
First one I’ve ever seen in this neighborhood!
🫨 it’s a nice big one too
You're lucky!
