      They both have a powerful gaze that would psych anyone out, but who only knows what will happen when those forces are turned on each other?!

      I don’t know if a pair of owls could get as crazy as those 2 guys…

      I was going to tell you they didn’t say, but he added new photos to his feed, so now I have some context.

      These are probably one or both of the morphing owl post from the other day.

      So, I saw this picture is new today, and this is the same tree, so these are likely from the same shoot.

      The vole pass, male flies in, passes the vole to female, then she feeds the chicks.

      So it looks like this is Mr LEO dropping off dinner for Mom and the kids.

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.
