Description: I decided to go for a early morning walk around MacArthur Island after it had snowed a ton the night before. I have always seen lots of deer and other little birds here but that's it's. Except on this morning. As I was under a tree off the main trails, trying to photograph the other birds I realized after a few minutes that there was an owl 4 feet away from my face!!!! level to me on a tree branch! Shocked and filled with excitement I turned my camera and got to take the most amazing photos of it! The owl stayed on the branch keeping a close eye. I was very amused that the owl wasn't very scared of me. It was only a bit bigger than my hand and so cute. It wouldn't fly away so I took the photos I could get and let it be in it's tree. I will never forget this experience, and I will be thanking nature forever for it. Our world is so beautiful and precious. The owl is a Saw-Whet owl, also known as the Swallow owl. He was only a little bigger than my hand and so cute!
