About These Birds
Bermuda Saw-whet Owl
The Bermuda Saw-whet Owl was a small owl endemic to Bermuda that became extinct in the 17th century. It is known only from fossil bones and was likely a colonist from the North American Saw-whet Owl that evolved in island isolation. Its extinction was driven by human settlement, habitat clearance, and introduced predators.
African Barred Owlet
The African Barred Owlet weighs about 148g and inhabits woodland across sub-Saharan Africa. Active by day as well as night, it hunts insects, small reptiles, and birds with great agility.
