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.

Came upon some egregious AI owls this week. Most of you enjoyed these previously.
They annoy me because they get mixed in with some potentially good content, but it shows me the feeds don't check what content they put their name on.
The worst is when they title it "Amazing photograph!" or something that attempts to legitimize it.
Which is the best of the worst this week?
I'm not good on knowing how real light and shadow would work, so I wasn't sure if this was a fake image or some craft project. I see weird creature creations fairly often too.
