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.
For more detailed help, see the OwlPages Rescue page.

This is me on the West Coast as all of the East Coast fucks set meeting times.
A lot of the West Coasters in my company start at like 7am. Including me. Against my will.
We don't need this much overlapping time or meetings.
Let me sleep till fucking 8am for a change.
The east coast should just start start at 9am, make the overlap less severe. Seeing people start at 6am ET kills me, lol.
"Excuse me. I'm not awake at that hour. If you wish me to be mentally present and engaged.... this could be an email."
In my particular case, I also have Indian time zones they're trying to accommodate.
Software is basically hell now.
I get clients that respond at 3:30am here. They start work at 6am eastern >_>
