Rare Find in Coney Island

So happy to spot my first sighted Owl in Coney Island. I was expecting a Buffy Fish Owl as it was spotted there last year, but was pleasantly surprised to see a handsome SWO on low perched.

It was later harassed by a crow and flew out but also given me an opportunity to take flight shots and open perched. The feather color was bright and it looked like a young bird.

For any a bit confused, this is Coney Island in Singapore, not the one in New York.
