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 Cape Ann Wildlife

Some of vou may remember this sweet little Screech Owlet that came through a while back. He'd been found grounded in someone's yard after a cat attack and spent some time resting up in Erin's care. We're excited to report that he's made a full recovery, has been federally banded and was released back with his family. Big thanks to all who helped make his recovery and reunion a success! Enjoy these wonderful photos by : René Meuse of our little friends big day and special thanks to Jesse Brad for banding him for us!

I always try to bring you the best of the best!

There's a lot where they're really nice photos, but a little too plain, and now is baby season for many owls, but the babies haven't seemed as popular so I've been trying not to do too many of them, but also not too few, but I always find plenty of cool things we haven't seen yet. I don't post things that are just there, it's gotta get me excited at least a bit!

I'm glad all of you find this stuff at least a fraction as interesting as I do, and I always love hearing about how it is a positive thing in your lives that you look forward to!
