And I have recent experience of very ethical bird guide using the technique in
South America - Andean Pygmy-Owl as I recall.
As Tom says, also works well in SE Asia.
Seems to be the "Pygmy type" owls that are active and call during the day that
create interest - and as that is something to be expected in the respective
environments, I am not all sure it does much harm if used sparingly. Possibly
less distressing than using the call of a territorial male of the same species
(not wishing to inflame the call back debate - again)
Cheers
