The Spot-bellied Eagle Owl is a massive and imposing owl found in dense forests across South and Southeast Asia. It is known for its eerie, human-like call.
Where to spot
Dense evergreen and moist deciduous forests, often in hilly areas, from the Himalayas south to Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, low, guttural hooting call. Spotting is very difficult due to its dense habitat and shy nature; use a powerful spotlight to scan the canopy and listen for any movement.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Best observed by its calls after dusk and before dawn. Visual sightings are very difficult due to its elusive nature.
