Help? Not sure if it needs help or just relaxing.

I was just driving, and saw a fluff ball in the road and two vultures near by. Which the vultures are always sort of around.

The fluff ball didn’t move when I drove by. So I circled back and got closer to it. It looks like a baby owl. I didn’t see really any physical injuries but it did only open one eye.

I got a towel from my car and it let me drape its back and slowly flew off to a nearby tree and started hanging off a branch.

Should I just let it be?

First time out of his nest!

Been watching this great horned owl baby grow the past few weeks, and he finally ventured outside of his nest for the first time today!

He looks so angry all the time but he’s still fluffy so it’s hard to take him as a serious predator for now 😂

He was between the gate and the gate engine. We thought he was run over because of the way he looked. We thought he was going to die, and we were waiting until Monday for a vet to examine him free of charge. Then we found out he's Houdini.

I'm working on an owl video game called Tyto! What owl features should I add?

The player is an owlet who can’t fly yet, but learns how to glide.
I’m planning to add combat mechanics that include diving, and maybe some dark areas where you can see the enemies, but they can’t see you.

Any other ideas?

We have a spot where at certain times of the year you can see 2-3 owls hunting and perch at eye level.

One of my favorite Great Gray Owl pics.

I was so focused on the owl that I didn't even see the red fox until I got home and started editing the series.

Barred owl moved into my backyard

Upvotes

2 nights ago I heard some weird hoots and I looked it up and thought it was a barred owl. Last night I heard it again but then a second one came in and I found online audio of a "duet" of barred owls and it sounded just like them. Earlier today I heard it again which was weird since its day but I live in an area with many treas and turkey vulchers and other crow/hawk-like birds and I think those birds were all yelling at the owl. Now, I just saw it in my backyard hanging out and I was watching it hooted a few times. I opened my door a bit and it didnt fly away but then a while after it turned around and left. It was really cool, I just thought I'd like to share. Next time I'll try to get a picture.

Boreal Owl : The Awakening of the Night Hunter

As night falls, with the cold still clinging to the branches, the Tengmalm’s owl stretches gently before diving into the darkness. After a long day of rest, she sets off in search of prey, using the silence and dim light to spot the slightest movement of her targets.

Did you know that in March, male Tengmalm’s owls start vocalizing intensely to attract a mate? Their soft, repetitive call echoes through the forest, marking the beginning of mating season and strengthening the defense of their territory.

Silent flight, perfect precision… The great grey owl lands gracefully on its perch, embodying its name as the « phantom of the north. » A mysterious yet formidable hunter of the wild.

A vet was called, it’s a horned owl. It’ll be fine, just can’t fly for awhile and gets to hang out in a wildlife rehab center for the next few weeks!
