It’s always nice to see an owl in the daytime. This little guy is called a barred jungle owlet and I spotted him/her in Bandhavgarh in India. There seems to be some confusion as to why certain smaller owls are called owlets and not owls. The best explanation seems to be obvious — they are smaller than the average owl. This owlet, in fact, wasn’t much bigger than a softball.
