Hi Mick, Quentin, et al,
I know next to nothing about owls and have never (yet) been to northern
Australia.... but while reading your emails about Barn owl vs Masked Owl I
kept wondering about the possibility of hybridization - has this ever been
documented in Tyto owls and is this a possibility for apparently
intermediate morph birds in northern Australia??? Just a thought.
