Blakiston’s Fish Owl Bubo blakistoni

Blakiston’s Fish Owl Bubo blakistoni



One of the largest owls in the world, Blakiston’s Fish Owl is also one of the most restricted in range. It is endangered due to habitat loss and particularly the loss of suitably sized trees for breeding. Also, the continued construction of dams across its range deprives it of fish, as this species prefers shallow, fast flowing streams where native trout are easy to catch.
