A Collared Owlet (Glaucidium brodiei) is observed in Jabbarkhet, Mussoorie, nestled within the forested slopes of Uttarakhand. This small yet bold owl is often active during daylight hours, making it a distinctive presence in Himalayan foothill forests. Perched quietly among oak and mixed woodland, the owlet scans its surroundings for insects, small birds, and rodents. The cool mountain habitat of Jabbarkhet provides ideal cover and prey availability, highlighting the region’s rich avian diversity and ecological importance.
