From Wikipedia:

The Philippine scops owl is a fairly small-to-mid-sized species of owl, but is arguably the largest true species of scops owl. Adults measure from 23 to 28 cm (9.1 to 11.0 in). Their body mass can range from 125 to 310 g (4.4 to 10.9 oz), with females often considerably larger than males.

    I will be very disappointed if this owl isn’t on the owl-of-the-year competition.

      RemindMe! 5 months

      It’s got some substantial subspecies variation, with a darker color morph and more or less fluffy legs, so it’s got versatility. This light version is the star to me if the bunch though.

      I do want to solicit at least some of the participants this year since we’ve become well established here. I’m curious to see which ones have really impacted you all.

          I am glad you’re still here! You’re another one I’ve been missing your name popping up.

          I absolutely want to do Owl of the Year again.

            I’m not the kind to stick to one thing. I get invest a lot for sometime then I lost interest coming back from time to time but not so much.
            I still love owl, I upvote many post but I don’t have much so say anymore (^_^') Too bad because I miss the fun we had!

              No worries! The owls and I are here when you need us. I’m just glad you’re doing well.
