Overall a jungle bird.  Occurs in Gir in Saurashtra and in other forests of Gujarat.  The sound I U-U-U-A.  Sounds scary when heard in the jungle at night.  Apart from this he also gives a shrill scream.

Owls see nothing during the day.  There is a popular belief that one can burn only in the darkness of night.  But not really.  So much so that owls, being nocturnal birds, can hunt in the dark of night and rest all day in the foliage of large trees, in the crevices of hills or cliffs, and can fly comfortably even during the day when needed.  Some may even go hunting on a blue day.

Breeding season November to April.  Nests in the hollows of trees.  Permanent resident.  A small number.
