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.

I've been taking care of this Screech for a while now and got some good pics of it.
When I was grabbing new food for everyone in the outdoor pens, the rehabber said it was ready to leave and asked if I wanted to release it at home!
I'm waiting for my girlfriend to get home and then we'll let it go, I hope it likes the neighborhood!
All the birds sing words and the flowers croon in the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room!
Now I want some Dole Whip. :(
That's my fav thing! I think I tried to get it at a stand on the shore before but it didn't seem like the same thing.
For what it’s worth, something has changed in the past couple of years. I’ve now seen Dole Whip at Costco, and I know that the Hawaiian Brothers restaurant chain (fast casual Hawaiian, pretty decent overall) usually has two flavors of Dole Whip and it’s pretty spot on.
This shall need revisiting when I return to the shore next week... 🧐
:) I’m in Texas and can get Dole Whip - past me is wondering why I’m not eating it Right The F Now?!!
