OWLS ARE MASTERS OF DISGUISE IN INDIAN FOREST

HUDDLED together in the hollow of a tree, it would be easy to overlook these two sleepy owls as they blend into the trunk. With their brown patterned feathers and dark eyes, the beautiful owls possess the perfect forest camouflage. The Indian scops owls, a species of owl native to Asia, were photographed in a jambolan tree by Sarosh Lodhi, who noticed the birds while walking through Pench Tiger Reserve in central India.
