For owls that are superb.

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.

The Bay Owls are first on the board, picking up a 3 point kick. Great effort by The Screech defense at the start of the game.

The Screech receive the kickoff, and return it 35 yards, leaving them in a good starting position for this match.

This round is 4v4 with some great competitors. Vote for your favorite team now! Voting for the prior round is still open as well!

Round one caught me by surprise.

I'm always a little surprised how these votes go. Sometimes I'm like, nah, you guys are completely wrong in this one! But I can't say anything cuz I don't want to influence results. 😵‍💫

I communicate ineligantly. I mean to my great shame I missed it entirely. I had a family emergency in a different country I had to deal with. I got to vote for the Flammy and that's all that matters

No worries, I hope all is well or at least more under control now for you! There's still almost 24 more hours to go, so many more opportunities to participate, or just come by later and enjoy the pics when you need to see some cute owls.
