Sharing the beauty of Northern Michigan.
Welcome!
I love "Up North" and have appointed myself the unofficial travel ambassador for Northern Michigan. There are so many great things to do - visit the State Parks, ski, snowmobile, view elk, see the moose of Isle Royale, hike, kayak, visit a winery, bird watch and so much more. Please join me in my travels.

Want to have a staring contest???? I think that owl could win them all.
Beautiful bird!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
VERY NICE! I love owls.
Now THAT is one fierce look! I love it!
Amazing photo!
Wonder what the owl's eyes are saying? "you're going to be my supper!" or "whoooooo are youooooo?"
Stunning Photo! Could you tell us more about ARK and the wildlife education program?
He/She is gorgeous!!!
My goodness, talk about up close and personal!! Great photo.
They are such beautiful birds. Wonderful photo!
What a great photo
Patsy
Awesome bird!
This owl looks like he's getting ready to teach... as if he's saying "Okay class, today's lesson will be... how to turn your head 180-degrees!"
Wow! Where did you find him to get this wonderful shot????
Isn't that the truth! I don't know if I could deal w/ that beak tho - hehehe! He's a good lookin lil guy or girl!
Sorry, I forgot to say... a beauty of a shot!
Magnificent... those eyes are stunning! WOW.
Hugs♥
Betsy - His eyes were piercing - he had me hypnotized! LOL!
Yukonmusher - me too! :)
Sue- He kept opening and shutting his beak and starting right thru me - definitely fierce!
Mildred - thank you!
Cedar - LOL!! You knew exactly what he was saying!
Mom2 - I left their brochure at the cabin but I believe they are located in mid-Michigan and they mostly rehab birds of prey - owls, hawks, etc. The birds at this festival I attended were not able to be released back in the wild so they are used for educational programs.
Busy bee- and he knew it!
Darla - I wanted to pet him! :)
Judy - thank you!
Benny & Patsy - thanks - he was a good boy for sitting so still!
Ashley- he was a big boy!
Heather - lol - he actually did turn his head 180 degrees - I should've posted that photo!
Retired ONe - I cherry picked the photo op at the Kirtland Warbler festival this weekend!
Tricia - he did look like he wanted to bite something - lol!
Hi Michele - thank you!!
Wow, great photo shelley! Was that up at your cabin? and how did you get so close to it? have a great day :)
this is a beautiful shot .. and of course a beautiful bird. Owls have always been considered "wise" ... from the picture, he looks, angry/annoyed ... more annoyed.
Did you take the photograph? Sensational, and the quote for the photo is so true!
Incredible picture..that is one nasty look on such an awesome bird!!
Great shot!
Hi Shelley! Prayers are needed, swing back by my page for details, please!
Kathy B - yes I did take this photo - I was just a couple inches away from this beautiful fellow!
We have great horned owls in our woodlot. I hear them calling to each other, but have yet to see them. I just love owls.
