Сова на заказ!

В поисках новых впечатлений и диковинных птиц в июне мы отправились на край нашей бескрайней Родины – в Приморье.
Увидеть любую сову в поездках – это всегда за счастье! Но, если честно, об этой сове я тогда даже не мечтал. 
Поздно вечером наша группа приехала на место ночлега – кордон одного из старейших заповедников России – «Кедровая Падь». Пока участники расселялись по уютным номерам, я разговорился с местным научным сотрудником, который занимается изучением дальневосточных леопардов.
В ходе беседы мы обсудили маршрут и птиц, которых теоретически можно тут встретить. Ну и под занавес разговора я упомянул о совах, на что получил ответ о гнездовании двух видов: ошейниковой совке и иглоногой совы. Если о чисто теоретической встрече с первой я еще как-то подразумевал, то о гнездовании второй – нет. С удивлением я переспросил еще раз о иглоногой сове и тут же, как по заказу, мы услышали ее голос. Бросив разбор вещей и схватив фотоаппараты, мы рванули в ночной лес. Метрах в 500 от кордона и был обнаружен этот токующий самец!


An owl to order!

In search of new experiences and strange birds, in June we went to the edge of our boundless Homeland – Primorye.
To see any owl on trips is always a blessing! But, to be honest, I didn't even dream about this owl then. 
Late in the evening, our group arrived at the place of overnight stay – the cordon of one of the oldest nature reserves in Russia – "Cedar Pad". While the participants were settling into cozy rooms, I got into conversation with a local researcher who studies Far Eastern leopards.
During the conversation, we discussed the route and the birds that theoretically can be found here. Well, at the end of the conversation, I mentioned owls, to which I received an answer about nesting of two species: the collared owl and the needle-footed owl. If I somehow implied a purely theoretical meeting with the first one, then I did not mean the nesting of the second one. Surprised, I asked again about the needle-footed owl and immediately, as if by order, we heard her voice. Abandoning the sorting of things and grabbing our cameras, we rushed into the night forest. 500 meters from the cordon, this talking male was discovered!
