The barred jungle owlet is a small but fearless owl found in the forests and woodlands of the Indian subcontinent. Unlike many owls, it is often active during the day, perching conspicuously as it scans for insects, lizards, and small birds. I encountered this one in Bandhavgarh National Park in central India while searching for tigers. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/1000th of a second.
