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 Gabi Sandu

WW Photographers - I'll go first with the #beforeafteredit.

Here is a Ural Owl in a dark environment. I used a very slow shutter speed 1/25 and a very high iso 12.800. In order to denoise the image I used dxo pure raw, but because I shot at 1/25 the image wasn't too noisy, less photons remained on the sensor. Other edits to the image were, vertical crop and some color adjustments.

PS - The shot was handheld and I shot in burst mode. If I remember correctly it was hundreds of shots. This one comes the best.

Nikon Z9, Nikon 500mm pf 1/25, f5.6, iso-12800

This was in response to this post:

It may look like all these photographers just magically get these great photos we enjoy every day, but a ton of work can take place both before and after the shutter button is pressed!

If this is something of interest to you all, I can try to remember to check back for more.
