Barred Eagle-Owl - Bubo sumatranus Yeo SB 2022-02-17 Rifle Range Link (near Singapore), Singapore (Singapore) (50 m) adult, call, sex uncertain -

The first Barred Eagle Owl (BEO) was calling from a tall tree above the path. After calling for 5-10 miins, a second BEO responded from much further away, an maybe even a thrid bird. Finally the other birds sounded like they were coming closer as well, and it is at that time when the dirst BEO flew off. There were a fair number of racquet tailed drongos around, and mobbing the owls.
