Small owl (7 in /18 cm long) from Borneo and the Philippines. Makes a goose-like sound you can hear here if you like. Mainly eats insects along the forest edge or in coconut groves.

It’s overall range is small (770 sq mi / 2000 sq km) and it’s habitat is becoming more disturbed by people. There is an estimated population of 6,000-15,000 owls remaining.

    Do you like the additional photos in the original post, or do you like them broken out into individual pics in the comments so you can upvote individual ones?

    Also, if you haven’t, check out my ideas for Owl of the Year in last night’s post and let me know your thoughts!

      I appreciate the ability to comment on a specific photo, so if I had to choose I’d go with broken up posts.
