Road kill on 25'th March 2010 at Agumbe-Guddekeri road, Karnataka.
Oriental scops owl ( Otus sunia )This beautiful bird of prey became prey of superfast vehicle on Agumbe-Guddekeri road, which is approx. 8 km long road crossing through evergreen & semi-evergreen rain forest with scattered human habitation within it, which cutting it into disturbed forest patches. Lots other wild animals are getting killed on these roads regularly. So instead of only praying for their lives, we should lower down human speeds which is killing forests voraciously.
I think we can ask the PWD for some regularly placed speed breaks, and also we can place some placards around the speed breaks educating the vehicle drivers about road kills. Isnt it possible?
