Owls and eye-shine

[John Tongue <>]

Hi all,
We just spot-lighted (spot-lit?) a pair of Boobook Owls in a tree in  
our Caravan Park in St. Helen's, Tas.  They were getting very  
amourous, with quite a variety of little chattering, mewing calls.   
What we noticed, though, was the brightness of the eye-shine.  I  
didn't realise they had eye-shine.  I've heard that Nightjars do, but  
thought that was pretty unique among birds.  Do other Owls have eye- 
shine, too?
