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.

A Magnificent Great Horned Owl hunts just before dark. I got very lucky with the opportunity to observe this awesome bird in action a few evenings ago and was able to capture a photo, wanted to share! Photo taken near Omaha, Ne. Canon R7, 100-500 at 500.
Now THAT is a being who can tell you how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootise Roll Tootsie Pop.
Still can't make it without biting!
Hey, he shared his wisdom, whatdya want ;)
