Visit to a Mangrove (4c): Buffy Fish Owl Hyperventilating in the Tropical Heat

This video was taken in the late morning at the carpark, where the Buffy Fish Owl was high up in the trees, with many preschool kids having a snack break (directly behind where this video was taken).
The purpose of the sound spectrogram here serves to inform about human noise pollution in our nature reserves, in this particular case, voices from preschool kids and teachers. The owl seems undisturbed by the sounds (note that owl was quite high up in the trees), and perhaps the foliage would have scattered some of the mid-frequency sounds away from it. Interestingly, the owl gradually turned and tilted its face away from a glaring spot of sunlight that shone on its face.
