Brown Fish Owl

The Brown Fish Owl (Ketupa zeylonensis) is a typical owl from the family Strigidae. A huge bulky brown owl with a finely streaked breast, a plain face, and bright yellow eyes. Also note its dirty white “bib” and the heavy brow that gives it a moody demeanor. It inhabits waterside wooded areas from lowlands up into the mountains, feeding by dropping down into and wading around in creeks, lakes, and pools. Often gives deep echoing hoots, as well as various shrieks and higher-pitched hoots.
