Observation details
Descending from the Santanoni Range on the trail between Bradley Pond and Times Square. The owl flew over my head and perched in front of me. I was with the owl for about 5 minutes. After I got a couple quick photos I moved closer. It was then that I really noticed the yellow eyes. When closer I sensed the owl had gotten uneasy and it flew away soon after. But not before I got better photos that are attached. Not too bad for my ‘only automatic’ snapshot camera. The owl gave me time to do that. In my 30 years of hiking the first time I’ve seen one!!
