Camiguin Hawk-owl

Ninox forbesi

The Camiguin Hawk-owl (Ninox forbesi) is a small, nocturnal bird of prey endemic to the island of Camiguin in the Philippines. With a distinctive round facial disk and piercing yellow eyes, this owl is well-adapted for hunting in the dense forests of its habitat. It primarily preys on small mammals, insects, and other birds. The Camiguin Hawk-owl is known for its haunting, melodious calls during the night. Due to habitat loss and limited range, this species is considered vulnerable to extinction.
