Observation details

lifer!!! my first time getting identifiable owl pics at night and first time recordign a seen owl calling!! cwz first heard it inside the house and we 5 ppl got out together, 2 cameras with flash (mine doesn't have) and a flashlight with an almost dead battery, and a jbl bluetooth speaker for playback. slt hung the speaker on a short tree on west side of entrance, because the tree and branches are lower there so it is easier for photography by makign the owl come close. after about 5 mins of playing the calls and seeing the bird fly around, at one point chased by a drongo like bird, wy called it out in the tree where the speaker was and with flashlight on I suddenly saw the bird about 6-7m away, so tiny!! about bulbul sized, hard to estimate but smaller than I imagined. very cute. got camera out immediately, got 8 pics with about 3 in focus, we all snapped photos before it went away after about 5 sec suddenly. it continued calling on high trees and cwz and wy did some. 盲拍ing with camera flash, but it didn't come close again. continued calling at night until after 2200
