Buff-fronted Owl

The Buff-fronted Owl (<em>Aegolius harrisii</em>) is a small owl in the family Strigidae (True Owls). It is associated with forest habitats, where it likely occupies dense woodland or forest-edge environments. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature. Like other members of its genus, the Buff-fronted Owl is a cavity nester (nest type CV), using natural hollows or abandoned woodpecker excavations for breeding. Clutch size is recorded as 3 eggs. Song and call descriptions …

African Scops-owl

The African Scops-owl is a small, cryptically patterned owl with a wingspan of about 26 cm and a weight near 88 g. It roosts by day pressed against tree bark, blending in perfectly, and calls at night with a repetitive, monotone whistle across African savannas and woodlands.
