I’ve been thrilled with all the great owls of India the algorithm is finally sending me. They have such a great variety, and the colors and patterns of the subcontinent are unique.

The Spotted Owlet is one of the more common ones, but that doesn’t make it any less special.

There are still a lot of old beliefs and superstitions there that add to the dangers for owls there. A number of organizations try to keep them safe from trafficking and violence.
