Dear All
just to summarise, I have had numerous responses from people who have seen the
Eastern Barn / Masked Owls at Kingfisher Park over the last 4-5 years.
The unanimous response, including a response from Keith at Kingfisher Park is
that the birds have been / are Eastern Barn Owls. The FNQ Masked Owls are much
more like Barn Owls than the Masked Owls seen in SE Australia, however, it
seems clear that a genuine mistake was made over their identity for a prolonged
period of time due to their similarities. I have further details which Keith
provided.
I am sure that people who have seen them and thought they were Masked Owls
would want to know this updated information.
kind regards
