Barred Eagle-Owl
Ketupa sumatrana (Raffles, 1822)
Strigidae — Owls
Barred Eagle-Owl Ketupa sumatrana breeds in the Oriental Region, on the Malay Peninsula and across the Greater Sundas. It is an owl in the family Strigidae, first described by Raffles in 1822. The bird is best recognised by its barred underparts, prominent ear tufts that slant sideways, and a pale band that runs from the brow across the front of the tufts. It is a resident of evergreen lowland forest, especially where pools or streams are present, and also occurs in large gardens and wooded groves near settled areas.
