Random Bird Thursday: A Crepuscular Species That Is Not Actually Magical

In each Random Bird Thursday (RBT) episode, the goal is to highlight a bird species that probably isn't going to get featured in a full-length podcast episode. These are birds we might overlook, even though they certainly deserve some appreciation and attention. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ⚠️ SPOILER ALERT! The featured species in this episode is the Jungle Owlet ( Glaucidium radiatum ). Sound Citations : Dr S S Suresh, XC1102415. Accessible at Swami Bogim, XC1037332. Accessible at Support the show
