A Ryukyu Scops Owl crouching down, eyes fixed on something it is wary of. The black spot on its right eye should make individual identification possible.

It was calling with an unusual voice. Could there have been a far more dangerous predator around than crows or the like?

A Collared Scops Owl encountered in a dim secondary forest. Probably a female, but it was calling with a soft, low "hoo" rather than "myat, myat." I wonder if it was wary of me because fledglings were somewhere nearby.

A Collared Scops Owl that was with the individual above. This one is probably the male. It flew quietly up into the tree overhead.

A Brown Hawk-Owl fledgling found at a new spot. It looked to have been out of the nest for several days and was flying around freely. It was a little wary of people too.

The parent and a sibling of the individual above. The parent is probably the male.

The Brown Hawk-Owls in the neighbourhood have all fledged safely. Three siblings — there is one more nearby that didn't make it into the frame. Of the parents, the male is on the left and the female on the right.
