Birds of the Philippines

Photos and videos of wild birds found in the Philippines. We travel all over the Philippines to document and take pictures of birds. Our goal is to make this site a resource of information and images about wild birds of the Philippines.

  1. Birds of the Philippines
  2. Owls

Giant Scops Owl

GIANT SCOPS OWL
Mimizuku guryeni
aka Mindanao Eagle-Owl
Family Strigidae

L 305 mm (12")
endemic, fairly common

Bird # 263 - October 2010

This bird is found only in Mindanao. It is much larger than the other scops owls. Like the other scops owls, it has a distinctive V on its forehead.

Tonji was the only one who saw the bird in October 2010 during our trip to Mt. Kitanglad, Bukidnon with Nicky Icarangal. The first photos we got were from October 2012 in Cagayan de Oro, also with Nicky. Our last set of photos are from our April 2013 trip with Nicky once again.
