Ferdy, you know by now I do like owl shots a lot. Thus I like this one. Wow, it's just like a monk, praying in honest modesty. Mysterious too. Well done! If I ever can afford Madagascar and convince my family to join too I will definitely be touched to its many wonders. Thanks for showing us! Posted 12 years ago

The Rainforest scops owl

The rainforest scops owl is a species of owl in the family Strigidae. It is found in a large part of eastern Madagascar, but the exact distribution limits between it and the Torotoroka scops owl, with which it was long considered conspecific, require further study. The natural habitat of the rainforest scops owl is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
