Pel's Fishing Owl

Pel's Fishing Owl
Regarded by many birders as one of the most elusive birds to find, this spectacular owl has a restricted distribution along the major river systems in southern Africa. This bird was recorded in the grounds of Mfuwe Lodge in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park where a pair is resident. The adults have a deep humming hoot, but the well grown chick gives this eerie scream particularly once it leaves the nest and expects the adults to continue feeding it.
