The Indian Eagle Owl is a large, striking owl native to the Indian subcontinent. It is characterized by its prominent ear tufts and rich, dark streaking, providing excellent camouflage.
Where to spot
Throughout the Indian subcontinent, including India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh, favoring rocky outcrops, scrub forests, and hills.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, booming 'hoo-hoo-hoo' call. Look for it roosting in rocky crevices or dense vegetation near rocky areas during the day.
When to spot
Primarily nocturnal, but can sometimes be seen hunting at dusk or dawn. The best time to hear its deep calls is after sunset.

Unlike many owls, the Indian Eagle Owl often roosts in open, rocky areas during the day, relying on its superb camouflage to remain undetected by potential threats.
