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 have scaled back a little for summer. I was feeling worse about it, but I believe it was Blaze or someone on Fedigrow that pointed out it's summer and people are on vacation and stuff. I have confidence issues, so I usually automatically assume I did something, but that got me to get a more likely realistic take on things. I went from doing 5 posts a day to 4 during the week and 3 on weekends, and that is less pressure, so now I can take a break every day or so on stocking up on content.
As someone who usually avoids the spotlight, posting here has been largely enjoyable. If it's something your passionate about, in anything but political posts, you can have the stage to yourself in near anything and people really seem glad for the contributions to other topics. It can be slow to build an audience, but the people you do pick up will be happy to have someone to talk with here. I never thought I'd be a daily contributor, and I never thought I'd have this many people happy to listen to what I share. I think everyone should try posting more. Even if you feel you dont have much to say, AskLemmy could use some more variety, and there's Dull Men's Club and others specifically for mundane chat.
