WOW! moments transform someone's vision of nature. They may be up close and personal or a step back into contemplation. We've all had one: our feet seemed glued in place or we had a rush of adrenaline. Yours is special! Record your WOW! moment for posterity by clicking here. Be brief and crisp.

Here are examples of WOW! moments that people have submitted to Audubon Ohio:
March 5th, 2005 .....My son, Jeff, nonchalantly told my husband and I we should go take a look in the tree in our backyard (We live on a farm). We went to take a look and WOW... there was a Bald Eagle!! It truly has been our greatest birding WOW moment.

Still getting WOW moments at age 50. I am always on the lookout on my walks. On a very pleasant sunny early afternoon at Englewood reserve, at the back of Aullwood Audubon Center, I saw my first 'owl in the wild'. It was a barred Owl.
-- Michael Clark
On the front porch for early morning coffee, sunshine gleamed through an especially big red bead at the end of my glasses chain. Suddenly WOW! a Ruby-throated Hummingbird hovered directly in front of me...like up close and personal!! and magnified all the more by my glasses. Instantly realizing its mistake, the hummingbird flitted away but my WOW! moment will last forever.
