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.

No story with this one really. They shared it as a part of a fundraiser contest winner announcement. You guys love your WFS around here, and we've never had a pic with more than 1 at the same time that I can recall.
You know these fuckers would confound you with riddles and finish each other's sentences while they do it
I would watch that!
Those eyes are practically neon <3
Orange eyes are some of the best eyes!
This is my new go-to insult, you flocked up white-faced scop.
They're really beautiful.
I thought it would be a fun title for such a fun picture.
To me it looks like a time lapse, where it's the same owl, just at different moments.
I suppose you're wondering why we've asked you here today . . .
