MUSCAT, Oman, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- An owl discovered in a remote, mountainous region of Oman could be a newly recognized species based on its distinctive, unfamiliar hoot, ornithologists say.
Wildlife sound recordist Magnus Robb -- who is part of an international project called the Sound Approach that aims to catalog and understand bird sound -- told the BBC he captured the bird's call while trying to record the call of another type of owl.
