Rufous Owl
6km north of Isabella Falls, north of Cooktown
A gorgeous immature female Rufous Owl was observed perched low down in vineforest bordering dry woodland 3km along the McIvor River Rd from Battlecamp Rd. Always a special bird to see given its rarity, & a great experience at such close quarters for over 15 minutes.
