Could you win a staring contest with this spotted owlet? These primarily nocturnal owls are sometimes mobbed during the day by birds trying to defend their territory from predators. With their piercing yellow eyes, the small owls will stare down intruders, bob their heads, and emit a loud "chirurrr-chirurrr-chirurrr" screech, sometimes likened to laughter or chuckling.
