The smallest fish owl, no feathered toes, just confidence. Haunts SE Asian lowland rivers after dark.
- Populasi
- Not quantified; species described as widespread, generally faring well, with an assumed/described stable global population trend
- Habitat
- Tropical lowland forest and freshwater wetlands near rivers, lakes, mangroves, and aquaculture/fish ponds; also found in plantations and rural/urban gardens up to ~1,600 m elevation
- Fakta menarik
- Unlike most owls, the Buffy Fish Owl lacks the comb-like and hair-fringed leading-edge primaries that give owls silent flight (its wingbeats are audible) — since it hunts fish and crustaceans by swooping onto water rather than pouncing on ground prey, it needs to stay dry and rely on vision, not stay silent.
