You typically do not find a bird this naked or featherless outside of the nest unless there has been a storm or the nest has been attacked by predator like a raccoon, chipmunk, squirrel or corvids. Try to get it too another family group or contact a wildlife rehabber. That is probably one of the adults. Owls are a little different.
