| Remarks : | As we were investigating the incessant calls of an Andaman Treepie, one of our group members noticed this owl staring at us. The bird then flew to a perch about 20 feet from the ground and was there for the rest of the day. This perch was confirmed as a day roost for the bird when we returned 3 days later to find 3 owls on the same perch - SMV |
