This is a test if this type of image will work in Opus. It seems to do, but only if the part of "thumbs" is omitted from our usual image code. Image in original context can be seen here.

Collared Scops Owl

A resident breeder in the Indian sub continent, South Asia right into China, the Collared Scops Owl (Ottus lettia), family Stygidae is woodland Owl. It seems to be different enough form Indian Scops Owl Ottus bakkomoena, to merit a separate species rank. It has small éars'- (head tufts) and has s buffish body with streaks. The facial disc is whitish or buff, and the eyes are orange or brown. There is a buff neckband. Sexes are similar. The flight is deeply undulating.

This species is nocturnal but it can often be located by the small birds that mob it while it is roosting in a tree. It feeds mainly on insects. The call is a quiet goog gook.

This species is chiefly found in northern India and is replaced by the very similar looking Oriental Scops Owl Otus sunia (recently split) towards the south of its range. It is very similar also to the slightly smaller Indian Scops Owl, O. bakkamoena. They are most easily separated in the field by their calls. (source Per. Obs, Wikipedia). 'Italic text'

The Definition of Migration (in my words)

The definition of migration (in my words) is when an organism or group of organisms travel a distance to another part of the world, for one reason or another. Many of these organisms, such as many waterfowl, have "pit stops" on the way to their destination, which make good places for making observations on those animals.
