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 Sandwich part sent me on a little goose chase (pun intended)
There's also the Sandwich tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis)

and the nēnē, aka Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis)

And Wikipedia helped with the rest:

Nice detective work!
Sandwich Islands was my first thought, but they're but near Hawaiia.
The tern is named after a port in Alaska, so that wasn't it. I was going to check to see if that's where the owl guy's boat left from, but I didn't get the chance yet.
