The Rufous Owl is a large and powerful owl, characterized by its rich rufous-brown plumage and lack of ear tufts. It is a formidable nocturnal predator of dense rainforests in the Australasian region.
Where to spot
Inhabits dense tropical and subtropical rainforests, wet sclerophyll forests, and gallery forests. Its range includes northern Australia, New Guinea, and adjacent islands.
How to spot
Listen for their deep, guttural 'whoo-hoo' calls at night. Finding them requires patience and careful spotlighting in dense forest canopies. Look for their large silhouettes.
When to spot
Strictly nocturnal. The best time to observe is during the night when they are most active. Calls are prominent during the breeding season.
