Hume's Hawk-Owl is a small to medium-sized owl that is often considered a subspecies within the broader Brown Hawk-Owl complex. It is characterized by its subtly different plumage and distinct vocalizations.
Where to spot
Inhabits forests and woodlands primarily on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and possibly other nearby islands in Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Listen for its specific hooting and calling patterns, which help differentiate it from other boobook species in the region. Spotting it requires careful night-time searching.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Best observed by listening for its calls during the night.
Distinguishing Hume's Hawk-Owl from other closely related boobooks often relies heavily on differences in their nocturnal calls.
