Brodie's Owlet. 
a, Kumaon. From Captain R. Strachey's Collection. 
" This pretty little Owl is exceedingly common in the Himalayas 
in the neighbourhood of Mussoorie and Simla, and may be heard at 
nightfall uttering its monotonous but not unmusical whistle of two 
notes oft-times repeated. It nidificates in hollow trees without any 
preparation of a nest. On the 11th May, 1848, I found three young 
ones and an egg just ready to hatch, in a hole of a wild cherry-tree. 
The egg was nearly round and pure white, but being broken I could 
take no measurement of it. The young ones were clothed in a soft 
and pure white down. The old female remained in the hole while we 
cut into the tree, and allowed herself to be captured." — (Hutton,
