New Northern Saw-Whet Owl for me this year. Another special find yesterday.

I was navigating through some tightly grown trees, so my attention wasn’t really on expecting to see an Owl. When I got to the opening, I turned my head left, and this little one was staring right at me, about 3 feet from my eyeballs.

I think my eyes were just as big, as it was so unexpected. :)
