Let's guess without making a sound who this is? he is hyper-alert and focused on You.

Relaxed owls will normally have their top eyelid slightly lowered, just like humans. When their eyes are totally round, like this Northern Saw-whet Owl, they are hyper-alert and focused on something. Make sure you aren't the focus of their attention.

***Remember that the best way to find owls is to spend a lot of time outdoors.***
