Field Recording: Pel's Fishing Owl At Dawn

Into the Okavango

August 15 2015, 4:01 AM. Okavango Panhandle. Pel's Fishing Owl is highly sought by birders -- we saw a pair of them flying later in the trip, so incredible, huge and a deep red-brown color. This night, I was awoken by the call. Listen to it with headphones or good speakers, it's so low as to barely come through via laptop speakers.
