Pallid Scops

From Nick Bray

Wadi Tanuf, Oman, March 2025

Found between the Arabian Peninsula and Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Pallid Scops is similar to the Eurasian Scops, but a little plainer in patterning and with a deeper vocalization.

I didn't see too much info out there on this little one, but it's always fun to explore the diversity of the many Scops owls of the world.
