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 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.
