I saw the Serendib Scops Owl in 2018. It was only “discovered” in 1999 or so. It felt like we were invading it rather than seeing it. My guide got a call from a guy. We go marching up a jungle mountain side. Leeches everywhere. No big deal but we get sent from one scout to the next until finally. There is one dude whose job it is to keep an eye on this poor owl. Maybe 30 of these exist in the world. It was daylight and this poor dude is trying to sleep and I’m pointing my massive telephoto at him and using a flash. I felt like an asshole. Had to tip like 5 guys to see it. Not great birding.

This title is straight out of the mouth of a BuzzFeed editor.

Of all the owls is the is the most majestically beautiful owl this one? The great horned owl? The snowy white owl?

No

In this the redditors humble opinion it is the fucking barn owl, you'd think with a plain ass name like the barn owl you'd expect some basic bitch of an owl, but instead you are presented with noble grace that is the barn owl. Its simple yet elegant plumage. Its hauntingly penatrating gaze. If I could gaze upon only one owl my entire life it would be the magnificent bastard that is the barn owl.

Exactly why is it a species and not another variety? Even the great observer Darwin could not always decide which was which. Drove him nuts. Do they have this bird's genome already or what?

Annoyingly beautiful

It looks more irritated than spooky

I’ve seen better owls in Delaware.

Edit: if you don’t acquiesce to the superiority of the owls I know, I don’t think we can be friends anymore. I WILL DOWNVOTE THE ENTIRE REDDIVERSE BEFORE YOUR WEAKENED OWL EYES!
