Rufous Owl Airlie Beach QLD

[Dan Blunt <>]

Hi All

Had a fantastic encounter with a Rufous Owl tonight. A single bird has 
started calling since the rains a week ago. Tonight I imitated the bird 
and it came and sat on the fence within 1m of me. It is not shy in the 
least. It was particularly interesting that as it approached me through 
the trees gradually making its way closer, it dropped its wings and 
slouched until it was on the fence. It then took a more upright posture 
and stared at me as I made its call. We actually live at Conway which is 
about 1/2 hour from Airlie and border Conway NP. We have aslo been lucky 
here to see both LT and WT Nightjar.
Cheers
Dan
