EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 14 from John Gould's The Birds of Asia, Volume 1, presents a captivating and intricately detailed illustration of the Oriental Bay Owl, Phodilus badius. This nineteenth-century hand-coloured lithograph showcases the owl's striking features, with its mottled, horn-coloured facial disc and ear tufts standing out against its dark, speckled plumage. The owl's large, expressive eyes, with their golden irises, seem to pierce through the paper, while its long, curved beak and sharp, hooked talons are evidence of its status as a formidable bird of prey. The Oriental Bay Owl is native to Asia, and its geomorphology is perfectly adapted to its role as a nocturnal hunter. The illustration depicts the owl perched on a gnarled branch, its body language conveying a sense of alertness and readiness. The background of the print features a serene, natural landscape, with rolling hills and trees, adding to the overall sense of tranquility and harmony. The anatomy of the Oriental Bay Owl is fascinating, with its unique ear structure allowing it to locate prey by sound, even in complete darkness. Its ear openings, visible in the illustration, are separated by a distinct, horseshoe-shaped bone, known as the columella. This adaptation, combined with its excellent night vision, makes the Oriental Bay Owl a master of its nocturnal hunting grounds. John Gould's The Birds of Asia is a seminal work in the field of ornithology, and this lithograph is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The Oriental Bay Owl's portrait is not only a beautiful work of art but also an invaluable record of a remarkable bird and its natural history.
