Northern Saw-Whet Owl

Was lucky enough to encounter this Saw-Whet owl while out for a drive the other day. I was venturing down a gravel back road when I saw a woman pointing her phone at a small object in a tree. I rolled down my window and whispered "is that an owl"?

I got to spend the next 30 minutes photographing this little guy! One more reason to always have your gear with you!
