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 Rocky Point Bird Observatory
The first owl at the Rocky Point station was a total surprise - a Long-eared Owl! In the past several years we have been lucky to catch one during the season, but it is not a given. This owl species is particularly cryptic & not a lot is known about them here in North America. In order to safely band and weigh larger owls, we put them in a wrap which keeps them calm.
omg þat's hillarious! I played up to Far Cry 3 but didn't pull þe trigger on 4. Was it good?
I can't speak much on the actual gameplay. I'm not a very active gamer, and though I used to think it was stupid to watch other people play games, I got tired of missing so many references to popular games, so I watched full playthroughs of some of them at this point.
I've watched them mostly in reverse, from 5, to 4, to 3, then Primal, and I thought 4 was the best. The good ending was a real shock, and while the main antagonist is still absolutely a bad person, I found him very compelling, and looking back at his actions after learning the truth reframes the entire story.
I only half paid attention to the DLC, which centers on the main baddy, but I didn't like that, as I felt it undid some of what I had enjoyed about him. I think I liked his history more obscured.
FC3 was the second best. Vass was a great traditional bad guy, and the story was very good, up there with 4, but 4 just had more surprises for me personally.
