  • Spot Bellied Eagle Owl spotted in Seshachalam forest of Andhra Pradesh for the first time.
  • The bird’s habitat, found on large trees in thick forests, is spread across the Indian sub-continent.
  • But it was sighted only twice in the State earlier, and both the times it was at Nagarjunasagar Srisailam Tiger Reserve.
  • The bird makes a strange scream similar to humans and it is hence called the ‘Ghost of the Forest’ in India and ‘Devil Bird’ in Sri Lanka”.
  • These eagle-owl species are distributed in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
