Small brownish owl with dark ‘glasses’ surrounding eyes. Fairly common in a wide variety of habitats in Tasmania. Similar to Southern Boobook, and range overlaps in southern Victoria during the winter; Tasmanian Boobook is smaller, darker, and has more extensive spotting and a different voice than the Australian boobook. Call is a familiar ‘boo-book’ with the second note lower pitched than the first, higher-pitched and smoother than Australian Boobook.
