update 202401

– it is almost not possible to miss this bird either day time or night time. me and my buddy+guests like owl and and woodpecker for start .. and this is very first owl we got and before we meet our “torch holder” (guide found us in the dark in the forest)

– 苏拉威西北部鸟行，几乎不可能错过的鸟。晚上，早上都很容易。我的好朋友+客人 特别喜欢鸮+啄木鸟。在我们见我们的当地导游前，我们就找到了。他（当地导游尽然到森林里找我们）还帮我们拿手电筒。

saw 2 pair .. these 2 give better view

57. Rajah Scops-Owl, 拉氏角鸮, 蘇門答臘角鴞, Otus brookii, ラジャーオオコノハズク

a owl we always heard and wanted to see in Borneo, even it can be different sub-species or species (in future) but It is much easier here .. a small owl like other small and active in dark

– 这鸟是我们在婆罗洲非常希望拍到的鸟。几乎不可能看到。虽然应该是不一样亚种。在这非常容易，虽然也有一定的难度。小，不容易辨别方向。

update 20240114

– even it is high chance to find it’s roosting bird, but we always like to find the bird in night. Ours’ first morning, have a good try and the bird didn’t make any sound… I am amaze how I found it (haha, by the thermal camera.. found it once very near and 2nd time quite a distance)

– 虽然在这，当地导游都会找到早上版的。可是我与我的客人都是喜欢自己找找（不喜欢等人家找到叫你去看）。第一个早上，我们就去找找。到森林后，没很久就找到了。（很不可思议的找到，它没叫！。。不啦我是有热量仪相机找到啦）

101. Chestnut-backed Owlet, 栗背鸺鹠, 斯里蘭卡栗背鵂鶹, Glaucidium castanotum, クリセスズメフクロウ

– small owlet like other owlet always like to be calling long at canopy and make other birds attention. But this endemic’s back of the owl simply awesome

– 与其他鸺鹠一样小小只。喜欢站高高，叫不停。可是这一只特有种背部很特别美。

– the bird just sit there !!! actually local make tree hole for them nesting so the area become territory of both bird… just look for them without call back or any action

– 2只乖乖怎么站这么好。其实是村里的人，做了好几个树洞给他们筑巢。只要在附近慢慢找就看到他了。好美的特有种。

102. Serendib Scops-Owl, 斯里兰卡角鸮, 斯里蘭卡角鴞, Otus thilohoffmanni, セレンディブコノハズク

– very recent discover bird of Sri Lanka

Very small rufescent owl, with yellow-orange eyes, and sparse, light speckles on the underparts. Although does not possess true ear tufts it can show “false” ones when alert. Occurs within extensive humid rainforests in the lowlands of Wet Zone of Sri Lanka. Roosts singly or in pairs in the understory, but also found in upper levels of trees at night. Combination of small size, all rufous color, lack of prominent facial border, and only limited markings below separates it from all other owls on Sri Lanka. Song is a short “woOLoo”, rising in the middle. [Ebird]

– 被发现少于20年的斯里兰卡特有种。

– 我们都非常希望看到的鸟，虽然去了2天。还是没拍到全暴露的照片。可是已非常高兴了。
