Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Scan Perches. Systematically scan fence posts, telephone wires, low branches, and prominent rocks, especially at dawn and dusk, or on overcast days.
2. Listen for Calls. Learn their distinctive calls. Listening for their 'goo-ek' can often lead you to their location before you see them.
3. Look for Pellets. Check beneath favored perches or potential roosting sites for regurgitated pellets, which indicate their presence.
4. Observe Behavior. Watch for their characteristic head-bobbing or short, undulating flights between perches.
5. Check Cavities. During the breeding season, observe old trees, walls, or burrows for signs of activity, such as parents bringing food.

Migrazione

Mostly sedentary and resident throughout its range. Juveniles may disperse short distances from their natal territories, but long-distance migration is rare.
