The Indian Scops Owl is quite a common species (not as common as the Spotted Owlet though), in urban developments but has learnt to camouflage and hide from civilization for its safety. More than being seen, they are heard with a feeble whuk of a frog­like call. Most birdwatchers tend to hear them first and see them later but it was the other way around for me. I did not hear this bird until later that year on a dark winter morning while on a run at Lodhi Gardens. Owls tend not to call after sunrise, unless troubled. Unlike the Spotted Owlet and Barn Owl, they are generally found in the more dense trees,close to tree barks or inside dark tree hollows, which helps them camouflage, considering their brown body colour. It is a widespread resident across forests and well­wooded areas of the Indian Subcontinent south of the Himalayas. In Delhi, you’ll see them in Vasant Kunj, Hauz Khas, the Ridge and other such biodiversity­rich areas. In this small species (23­25cm), individuals can be very variable in colour from pale greybrown to warm rufous brown with finely streaked underparts, a thin black line around the facial disc, and dark brownish­orange eyes. Its scientific name, Otusbakkamoena, has been derived from the Latin word otus, meaning small­eared and bakkamoena from the Sinhala name Bakamuna for various owls. Unlike the two other common species found in the city, Spotted Owlet and Barn Owl, this bird has two tufts of feathers on the top of its head, very much like cat­ears. They are in fact called ear­tufts but it’s baffling that these have nothing to do with owl’s actual ears. The Indian Scops Owl is mostly nocturnal, usually sleeping during day and becoming active in the late hours of the evening,when it sits on trees near lampposts and hunts down small rodents and insects. A keen eyesight and incredible sense of hearing makes owls formidable hunters. Their sensitive, directional hearing often leads them to their prey even though the latter may be concealed.
