I was staying in Sat Tal and during evening and night I heard call of
Mountain Scops Owl from same place where I spotted these juveniles next day.
They were five on the same tree but I couldn't find any adult nearby. I
posted this photo on several birding forums to identify it but everybody was
agreed with Mountain Scops Owl. - RP |
