Birding’s Holy Grails. We pour over photographs, read with envy the eye-witness accounts of the “lucky ones” and fabricate secret plans to abandon our loved ones and embark on expensive trips to track them down. One of the most highly desirable birds in the world, the Pel’s Fishing Owl is a true phantom.
