It's very similar to yours. There was a spot in the woods at my university that I would sometimes go to sit by myself. Once I walked to this spot after not visiting for a long time. At the moment I arrived, a great horned owl flew in and landed in a tree very close to me. I looked directly at it and it looked directly at me. He cooed loudly a couple of times, then flew away.

He was so big, and came in so fast that my adrenaline was flowing immediately. I think I decided that was all that I needed, and I walked back feeling alive.
