Spotted
The West Solomons Owl is a medium-sized owl endemic to several islands in the western Solomon Islands. It is a secretive forest inhabitant, often heard calling at night.
Where to spot
Endemic to the western Solomon Islands (e.g., Bougainville, Choiseul, Santa Isabel, Guadalcanal), inhabiting lowland and montane forests.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive hooting calls. Spotting is challenging in dense island forests; use a powerful spotlight to scan the canopy and listen for responses.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Best observed by listening for its calls after dusk, which can be a distinctive series of hoots.
This owl is poorly known due to its remote island habitat and nocturnal habits, with limited scientific studies on its ecology and behavior.
