Brown Wood Owl

A large, solemn-looking brown owl belonging to the earless owl genus Strix with deep black eyes varying in plumage throughout its extensive range. It always has a dark-bordered pale face, fine barring on wings and underparts, and sooty areas around the eyes. It inhabits lowland and montane broadleaf forests and adjacent edges. Gives a short burst of loud, reverberating hoots.

Mottled Wood Owl

The Mottled Wood Owl is a medium-sized patchy-looking owl with dark eyes. It has exquisite densely-marked orange-and-gray coloration and typically gives single hoots, but also gives an odd, mellow tremolo vocalisation in the breeding season. It is a lowland species, favouring groves and clusters of trees in open plains and on the edges of cultivated areas.
