the trick , it appears , to producing a successful kitten’s joy runner is to cross him with a mare who looks very much like him on the page . of kitten’s joy’s five north american grade 1 winners in 2013 , four of them – admiral kitten , big blue kitten , real solution , and stephanie’s kitten – are inbred to northern dancer and roberto in the fourth or fifth generations . kitten’s dumplings is inbred to northern dancer .

ramsey said kitten’s joy is too valuable to him to sell or shuttle , and he eschewed the idea of partners in ownership .
one of the central factors in the stallion success of kitten’s joy is that he has towered over most of his mates in class . while generally well - pedigreed , the mares sent to kitten’s joy have tended to be only fair performers on the racecourse .

rausing , a staunch supporter of her stallions , will no doubt have admired from afar the approach of the ramseys in their support of kitten’s joy . their rewards have been reaped on the track via such top - class gallopers as big blue kitten , admiral kitten and gi breeders’ cup filly & mare turf winner stephanie’s kitten . kitten’s joy’s record at the breeders’ cup thoroughbred world championships was further enhanced this year by amerman racing stables’ gi breeders’ cup juvenile turf winner oscar performance and , while bobby’s kitten’s brother , the dual grade ii winner camelot kitten , missed his intended appearance at santa anita , he remains in training for next season .
it was an extremely close race , but it appears ramsey farm ' s kitten ' s joy has secured the title of leading north american sire by earnings for 2013 .
kitten’s joy is undoubtedly the driving force behind the rise of owners ken and sarah ramsey’s breeding program , based in nicholasville , ky . in 2013 , an army of racehorses by kitten’s joy carried the ramseys to a pair of eclipse awards , as the couple won both outstanding owner and outstanding breeder by landslide margins .

but ramsey isn’t the typical owner who simply bought his way into prominence ; he deserves much of the credit for his success . he is responsible for a phenomenon that defies most of the precepts of the horse breeding business : the success of kitten’s joy . the stallion’s progeny are as ubiquitous as ramsey himself , and even fans oblivious to pedigrees can hardly fail to notice what breeders’ cup entrants such as bobby’s kitten , big blue kitten , granny mc’s kitten , kitten’s dumplings and kitten kaboodle have in common .

commercial acceptance after kitten ' s joy ' s retirement in 2005 was a different matter . precocity and dirt form have long been the desired traits sought by north american breeders , so trying to lure the market toward an unproven turf sire resulted in kitten ' s joy getting only about 14 non - ramsey mares from the 127 he bred his initial season .
sarah named their now - prized stallion kitten’s joy , despite her husband’s objections , because she sensed that the horse would bring them great happiness . her faith in kitten’s joy remained after his racing career , even though potential buyers dismissed him as a long - distance turf specialist whose offspring would be ill equipped for american racing , which emphasizes shorter dirt races .
kitten ' s joy has two entries in small - purse races at turfway this evening , and both runners are favorites . the combined winner ' s share of those races equals $ 9 , 000 , meaning the battle between kitten ' s joy and speightstown could have come down to literally hundreds of dollars in the final hours . alas , it ' s all hypothetical at this point .

stephanie’s kitten was unfold the rose’s second foal , after the mare produced winner lady kitten in 2008 . stephanie’s kitten became one of the 2 - year - old filly division’s most imposing figures in 2011 , winning the grade 1 alcibiades stakes and the grade 2 breeders’ cup juvenile fillies turf . stephanie’s kitten has continued to excel , scoring multiple stakes wins at 3 and 4 , including the grade 1 just a game stakes at belmont park last year .

however , the mare’s biggest success has come with her fourth foal , the grade 1 - placed stakes winner charming kitten . the colt is the most recent offspring of kitten’s joy to run in the kentucky derby , and the most successful , finishing ninth in 2013 . charming kitten has won three races and placed in five graded stakes for earnings of $ 521 , 850 .
with 13 members of sea the moon’s first crop selling this week at tattersalls for an average of 44 , 231gns and top price of 160 , 000gns , and with the imposing bobby’s kitten becoming an appealing addition to the team , there’s plenty of cause for joy at lanwades .
after a decade , the ramseys reached the zenith of the business . they were honored with the eclipse award as the nation’s leading owners in 2004 , largely because kitten’s joy had been the country’s champion turf runner and roses in may the second - best dirt runner . ramsey sold roses in may to japan and kept kitten’s joy , planning to manage his career as a stallion . people who understand the breeding industry had reason to think he was making a naïve and expensive mistake .
groom flavio bueno led a blanketed kitten ' s joy across the grounds last week at ramsey farm in nicholasville .
he is treated like the king that he is ,
owner ken ramsey said of the farm ' s signature stallion .
those are qualities frequently associated with the sire of kitten ' s joy , the outstanding sadler ' s wells stallion el prado , who began his stud career at airdrie stud , then spent the remainder as a leading sire for adena springs .
in a single afternoon , the stallion had three grade 1 winners : big blue kitten ( sword dancer invitational ) at saratoga , then real solution ( arlington million ) and admiral kitten ( secretariat stakes ) at arlington . so far this year , kitten’s joy has 15 stakes winners and racers with total earnings of nearly $ 7 . 5 million .
it looked like he was going to be strictly a grass horse , and i ' m looking for dirt horses , so i decided to sell him ,
said ramsey of kitten ' s joy .
bobby ' s kitten will have a covering fee at twin hills of $ 16 , 500 , including gst .
while big blue kitten was still an unraced 2 - year - old , ramsey farm parted with spent gold at the 2010 keeneland november breeding stock sale for $ 1 , 000 . however , the mare remains a frequent visitor to kitten’s joy and was bred to him for 2014 .
bobby ' s kitten is possibly one of kitten ' s joy ' s most notable performers , winning the group 1 breeders ' cup turf sprint as well as having a european success in ireland by 8 . 5 lengths . the family is proven on turf tracks , a great plus for the sire especially with 99 per cent of australian races conducted on grass .
ramsey credits pedigree adviser john frato for planning the mating that produced kitten’s joy . kitten’s joy’s dam is the lear fan mare kitten’s first , who won her first start by a nose before a broken hip ended her career . the ramseys’s decision to breed her has paid off for several breeders . her first foal , the stakes - winning broad brush mare justenuffheart , went on to produce champion dreaming of anna and graded winner lewis michael for frank calabrese and graded winner justenuffhumor for mt . brilliant . in 2000 , frato recommended a short list of stallions from which ramsey and farm manager mark partridge chose el prado .
in a single afternoon , the stallion had three grade 1 winners : big blue kitten ( sword dancer invitational ) at saratoga , then real solution ( arlington million ) and admiral kitten ( secretariat stakes ) at arlington . so far this year , kitten ' s joy has 15 stakes winners and racers with total earnings of nearly $ 7 . 5 million .
whatever the explanation , once - skeptical people in the breeding industry can no longer be dismissive of kitten’s joy . even with his stud fee likely to rise to $ 100 , 000 next year , breeders will be mating high - class mares to him , which will almost insure the stallion of even greater success . the demand will be further proof that ramsey was right about kitten’s joy and the conventional wisdom was wrong .

we broke dubai sheikh off five or six lengths in front of kitten ' s joy , and kitten ' s joy ran him down and beat him about a length and a half or maybe two lengths going away ,
ramsey said .
but jerry said , ' ken , he changed gears like he always changes gears , but he struggled over the dirt and he ' s exhausted . i think he ' s better on grass , and i wouldn ' t try him on the dirt again . ' i took jerry ' s advice .
all due credit aside , kitten’s joy represents only one - third of the equation that produces a prominent runner , much less a stable full of them – the other pieces being the broodmare and a lot of luck .
“the secret to kitten’s joy isn’t like trying to decipher the secret to coca - cola or the recipe for kentucky fried chicken , ” ramsey said . “you take the pedigrees and see what the common thread is . ”
with 16 current graded stakes winners from five crops of racing age , the commercial bandwagon has filled up as well . of the 184 mares kitten ' s joy covered in 2013 , 93 were non - ramsey mares .

from kitten joy ' s
kitten spa ,
featuring an underwater treadmill on which he walks for 15 minutes a day five days a week , to the two paddocks at the horse ' s disposal , to the scrutiny of mares in his book , it ' s hard to find a segment of the ramsey operation not devoted to protecting the interest of a stallion with a history of trumping odds .
as has been well - documented , kitten ' s joy ' s success has been directly linked to the confidence his owners had in him when he retired to their farm in 2006 after he earned more than $ 2 million on the track . to support their new stallion , the ramseys bred from 90 to 122 mares to kitten ' s joy , and as the number of other breeders have sought a piece of his success , his book has continued to expand , with 190 mares bred to him this year .
reachinforthestars was claimed by the ramseys in her debut start for a $ 25 , 000 tag in september 2007 at calder . after winning two of 11 starts over two seasons of racing , she was sent to kitten’s joy for a mating that produced admiral kitten , the winner of the grade 1 secretariat stakes in 2013 .

one of the appeals of el prado was that , as a son of sadler’s wells and a grandson of northern dancer , he brought a five - deep line of male champions to the mating , ramsey said . kitten’s joy added another generation of champions with his 2004 eclipse award .

tdnhighlighted by an almighty duel which saw ramsey farm’s kitten’s joy ( el prado ) nip winstar’s speightstown ( gone west ) by no more than $ 15 , 000 for the title of leading north american sire for 2013 , according to calculations for tdn sire lists , these two were still outdistanced by two european sires , coolmore’s galileo ( sadler’s wells ) and juddmonte’s dansili ( danehill ) , on the final tdn 2013 general sire list , combining european and north american sires .
ranked among the top 5 sires on the general sire list in 2016 , world class sire kitten ' s joy is also represented by multiple graded / group winners in the us , france and england in 2016 including sheikh mohammed ' s group 1 coral - eclipse stakes winner hawkbill and sheikh hamdan ' s multiple french group winner taareef .
operations such as claiborne , phipps stables and juddmonte have long enjoyed top - level racing success with homebreds . however , in recent times , no single stallion has so thoroughly powered a farm the way kitten ' s joy has the ramseys ' .
while there’s no shortage of sadler’s wells’ sons and grandsons at stud in this part of the world , an intriguing recent addition to the stallion ranks in newmarket represents a diversification of the line which is thriving in america . the gi breeders’ cup turf sprint winner bobby’s kitten , a son of the champion turf horse and five - time us champion turf sire kitten’s joy , arrived at lanwades stud earlier this autumn and has received a stream of visitors ahead of his covering debut next february . while his retirement was not announced until september , lanwades principal kirsten rausing had been in negotiation with bobby’s kitten’s owner - breeders ken and sarah ramsey since the spring .

for all the honors ken and sarah ramsey ' s racing and breeding operation has earned during the past two decades , the two have never held their current position — the nation ' s leading owners in earnings , stakes wins and graded stakes victories — while also standing the leader on the general sire list — their homebred stallion kitten ' s joy .
kitten’s joy stood for $ 50 , 000 this year , but “i’m sure we’ll raise his stud fee to $ 75 , 000 , maybe more , ” he said , adding that no decision will be made until after the breeders’ cup in early november .
with medaglia d’oro siring a champion in his first crop , there was no doubt the dark brown son of el prado was a major new force in the stallion corps , and kitten’s joy confirmed el prado as a sire of sires to be reckoned with .
grade 1 winners real solution and big blue kitten will join their sire , kitten’s joy , on the stallion roster at ramsey farm in 2015 , the daily racing form reports . both horses , which race as homebreds for ken and sarah ramsey , are scheduled to remain in training for the remainder of the year . chad brown trains [ … ]
the proposition was not an easy one , but ramsey rose to the challenge and put money into making kitten’s joy a success as a sire . he did not get much outside help early on . ramsey said , “in his first book , we got 16 outside mares , i believe , and we bought some mares , claimed some more , and used a lot of the money we got from roses in may to buy up a broodmare band that we could breed to kitten’s joy . we currently have 128 . ”
kitten ' s joy was busy . mr luck won the kranji stakes in singapore . closer to home 3 - year - old filly really proud ran thid in the cedar key s . at gulfstream sprinting 5 furlongs on the turf . she is a homebred for brereton jones and trained by christophe clement . additionally , both fro the ramseys , sniper kitten won an allowance race at keeneland - his 2nd win in 3 starts and sippin kitten broke her maiden in a msw also at keeneland .
so he decided to build a large breeding operation on the cheap . he studied the form of fillies in claiming races and tried to identify ones who — though they may have been mediocre runners — had ancestors who would mesh with the pedigree of kitten’s joy .
a horse who showed brilliant ability as a turf runner , kitten ' s joy was nonetheless considered a longshot to make a top sire in kentucky due to a long - standing bias against staying turf horses . owners ken and sarah ramsey supported him strongly with their own mares , however , and were well rewarded as kitten ' s joy rose to the top of the american general sire list in 2013 . to the surprise of many , the horse also became an american champion juvenile sire , leading that list in 2011 .
granny franny has a yearling colt by kitten’s joy and has shown her value as a producer already . by doing that , granny franny took the measure of the breeding prescription “not to breed to mares with a blank dam . ” another one bites the dust .
unfold the rose was sold at the 2011 keeneland january sale of horses of all ages for $ 7 , 000 , just months before stephanie’s kitten began her breakout 2 - year - old campaign . the mare was consigned by ramsey farm , as agent , at the 2013 keeneland november sale in foal to kitten’s joy but did not meet her reserve , with a final bid of $ 325 , 000 .
reachfortheheavens’s first foal , a kitten’s joy colt , was in the field when ramsey farm sold the mare for $ 11 , 000 at the 2010 ocala breeders’ sales co . fall mixed sale . one breeding season later , reachfortheheavens was back under the ramsey colors and that foal had become italian stakes winner real solution .
“i owe it to kitten’s joy , ” ken ramsey said when explaining his success . “without kitten’s joy , i’m certainly not going to be standing on that stage at the eclipse awards two times . i was actually overwhelmed when i found out what the actual vote was [ 235 - 4 for owner , 221 - 21 for breeder , among the finalists ] . i was astonished at how lopsided the voting was . we did have a truly good year , the best year we’ve ever had since we’ve been in horse racing . ”
iteration was purchased privately in 2006 for $ 10 , 000 and was part of the first book for kitten’s joy . her first big hit came with her second foal , queen’splatekitten , who was a multiple grade 3 - placed stakes winner of $ 387 , 313 .
owner ken ramsey will be a prominent presence at the breeders’ cup on friday and saturday , with seven starters in turf races , six of them offspring of his stallion kitten’s joy . this will be no surprise to racing fans because ramsey has seemed ubiquitous all year .
making his 29th start , 7 year old msw coalport ( kitten ' s joy ) ran a good third in the g3 - tropical turf h at gulfstream park west . he has earned over $ 621 , 000 for his owner / breeders ken and sarah ramsey .
calumet farm announced today that three - time grade 1 winner big blue kitten , the morning line favorite for saturday’s arlington million ( g1 ) , will take up stud duty at the famed lexington , ky . , farm at the end of his racing career . he will join another son of kitten’s joy , 2013 arlington million ( g1 ) winner real solution , who was recently acquired from his [ … ]
more than 56 % of his stakes performers are graded stakes horses : oscar performance , 2016 winner breeders’ cup juvenile turf - g1 , etc . stephanie’s kitten , 2015 winner breeders’ cup f & m turf - g1 , 2011 breeders’ cup juvenile fillies turf , etc . big blue kitten , 2015 ncr winner joe hirsch turf classic - g1 , etc . bobby’s kitten , 2014 winner breeders’ cup turf sprint - g1 , etc . divisidero , 2016 , woodford reserve turf classic - g1 , etc . h awkbill , 2016 coral - eclipse s . - g1 , etc . real solution ( g1 ) , kitten’s dumplings ( g1 ) , admiral kitten ( g1 ) , etc
a fearless gambler at the windows , ken ramsey went deep into the pool of risk with his stallion . he continued to buy mares that fit the profile of being good crosses with kitten ' s joy , keeping the stallion heavily booked in those crucial first few years .
tait , a former lieutenant of godolphin ' s founder , sheikh mohammed bin rashid al maktoum , gained the southern hemisphere breeding rights to bobby ' s kitten in setting up his own breeding farm .
in electing to stand a stallion , ken ramsey said that “i had a big decision to make . i wanted to keep only one stallion . the japanese wanted to buy kitten’s joy to take to japan , and they also wanted to buy roses in may . i did the pedigree research and decided that , of the two , kitten’s joy had the best chance to become a leading sire . the first five stallions in his male line were all champions , and we decided that he had all the genetics required to be a leading sire . ”
that the ramseys ended up being the primary supporter of kitten ' s joy meant they had control over how a majority of those foals were raised . and being at the helm of the decision - making process is a spot in which ken ramsey thrives as few others do .
kitten’s joy had a remarkable year in 2011 with his third crop of runners . he edged out smart strike by $ 906 to become leading juvenile sire , finished the season in second to smart strike on the turf sire rankings , and was 10th on the general sire list .
with medaglia d ' oro siring a champion in his first crop , there was no doubt the dark brown son of el prado was a major new force in the stallion corps , and kitten ' s joy confirmed el prado as a sire of sires to be reckoned with .
“based on this horse’s race record and his pedigree , his performance was all predictable , ” ramsey said of kitten’s joy , who is a son of el prado . “there’s nothing fluky about it . the secret to our success is very simple . what’s really helped kitten’s joy is that myself and my team have been able to define and shape the destiny of this world - class sire . we have carefully selected every single mare that’s been bred to him , and we own most of them . we’ve raised most of his offspring , and we’ve placed them where they can perform their best . we have orchestrated the thing ourselves by keeping the best ones , racing them , giving them to top - notch trainers . we flat put these horses where they can win . ”
heading into today ' s cards , according to the widely - recognized general sire list at bloodhorse . com , kitten ' s joy runners had collected $ 11 , 320 , 523 in earnings , giving him a slim $ 89 , 342 advantage over speightstown , who sat in second with earnings of $ 11 , 231 , 181 .
graded stakes placed , granny ` s kitten held down the racing fort , adding more black type running third in the robellino s at penn national for the ramseys . he has earned $ 282 , 371 .
as if the two graded stakes wins by sons of kitten ' s joy were not enough , his 3 year old filly noble beauty ran second in the honey ryder s in her second start lifetime ! she was bred by the ramseys and is now owned by great point stables llc and trained by chad brown . watch for this one .
in addition to his top ranking on the general sire list , kitten ' s joy was the overwhelming leading sire of turf runners last year , with progeny earnings of $ 8 . 2 million on grass , far outpacing the $ 3 . 7 million in turf earnings by runner - up
depending on how their runners perform this weekend , ken ramsey said he could raise kitten ' s joy ' s stud fee from the $ 50 , 000 he commanded this year to at least $ 100 , 000 in 2014 . in lieu of birthday presents , ramsey wants more evidence that his horses and his stallion can rule the world championships .
“i try to cater to a range of mare - owners and indeed mares , ” explains rausing of her decision to secure bobby’s kitten . “being a relatively small operation standing four or five stallions i have to offer breeders something they can’t find elsewhere . i was very fortunate to have hernando and selkirk , and leroidesanoimaux is sadly missed . nowadays when i look through the stallion register in europe it is so permeated with galileo and danehill , and as great a combination as it seems to be , you can’t keep going forever . although bobby’s kitten of course comes from the sadler’s wells sireline it is , one would hope , sufficiently distant and it’s another branch through el prado and kitten’s joy . i think it’s rather complementary rather than just being the same thing again . ”
his plan seemed fanciful — until the progeny of kitten’s joys started winning everywhere . this year the stallion’s offspring have won 22 stakes and earned in the vicinity of $ 10 million . on aug . 17 , ramsey won the arlington million with real solution ( a son of kitten’s joy and a mare who had been claimed for $ 25 , 000 ) ; the $ 500 , 000 secretariat stakes at arlington ; and , within the same hour , the $ 600 , 000 sword dancer handicap at saratoga .

“we both died at the same moment” is a humorous observation of anthropomorphism , the attribution of human emotions to nature and animals . a siliquaria armata is a slitworm that loosley - coiles a shell . growing inside a sea - bed , a siliquaria armata will grow vertically until it touches another siliquaria armata , at which point they will knot together . once caught by fishermen , the two worms die at the same time . yeung undermines this romanticized phenomenon by emphasizing the emotionless in the process from the life to death of a slitworm . yet while yeung’s theoretical interrogation of life and death in nature and humankinds tendency to romanticize the unknown and the unknowable , “we both died at the same moment” simultaneously connotes a mythologisation of the slitworms . the vitrine , a showcase usually hosting buddhist sculptures , common in hong kong , which houses the slitworm aggrandizes the phenomenon of dying at the same time of knotted siliquaria armata’s . “we both died at the same moment” puts into question the desire and tendency to romanticize nature , turning to a slitworm as a metaphor for beauty , life and death .

trevor yeung’s ( b . 1988 , guangdong province , china ) practice , traversing a wide range of mixed media works from drawings and photographs , small objects and installations , is a delicate examination of human relations and processing . using the human body , plants and animals as an aesthetic pretext to examine the processes of exchange and participation , yeung projects emotional and intellectual scenarios onto biological substitutes . his allegory of the biological as the emotional interrogates the artificiality of nature and the capacity for a simulated construction of meaning . the artist creates worlds with their own logic , with his rules and that are connected to his own experiences . in doing so yeung’s work invites his audiences to interrogate perspectives and challenge the creation of systems . he currently lives in hong kong .

it was described by david g. smith and robert h. kanazawa in 1977 , originally under the genus rhechias .

it is a marine , deep water-dwelling eel which is known from the straits of florida and the northern coast of cuba , in the western central atlantic ocean .

it dwells at a depth range of 439-549 metres .

males can reach a maximum total length of 43 centimetres .

the species epithet " polyporus " means " many pored " in ancient greek , and refers to the large quantity of pores in the eel 's lateralis system .

reefs are organic structures that largely vary in size , form , and composition with local conditions in space and time . these structures are generally formed in shallow water . this shallow water can lie off a gradually sloping shore , around or over an oceanic island or submerged island , or over a more or less level shelf . this chapter describes reefs , their typological , geographical , and stratigraphical distribution along with organic and lithological composition . the subsequent growth of reefs depends upon a multitude of factors , including stability , disposition and form of the original substratum , relative movements of sea level , suitability of local climatic conditions , composition , ventilation and degree of turbidity of the surrounding waters , and degree of exposure to wave and current action , size , and force of local waves . some of the reefs in the högklint beds of gotland exhibit the shape of an inverted cone with a curved and widely extended base , while others are developed over wide parts of the sea bottom , showing a lateral extension of up to 1 . 5 - 2 km . the extended högklint reefs are more of a biohermal than a biostromal type of development .

hunting & food : dusky eagle owls feed on small mammals , birds , reptiles , frogs , fish , and large insects .
the important bird and biodiversity areas ( iba ) of the dusky eagle - owl in nepal are , bardia national park , chitwan national park , sukla phanta wildlife reserve and koshi tappu wildlife reserve and koshi barrage .
the iucn ( international union for conservation of nature ) has categorized and evaluated the owl species and has listed it as of
least concern
. cites ( the convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora ) status is ‘evaluated’ for the dusky eagle - owl (
the breeding season of the dusky eagle - owl is from november to april in india , with a peak in december and january . these species usually lay eggs in the abandoned stick nests of kites , raptors and other birds of prey .
the overall plumage of dusky eagle - owl is grayish . the ear - tufts are prominent and have rounded tips . the facial disc is pale and demarked by narrow black stripe . the upperparts are brownish gray . the underparts are paler and are streaked .

habitat : well - wooded and well - watered country , never in arid or desert regions . the dusky eagle owl is also found in old mango plantations , and in other densely foliaged trees in proximity of water and habitation , normally on the plains . occurs up to 250m above sea level .
these owl species have medium forest dependency . these species occur in altitudes from 0 to 250 meters .
habits : although not completely nocturnal , the dusky eagle owl usually spends the daytime in the seclusion of a shady bough or foliage , becoming active about an hour before sunset . they have been observed on the move and hunting in the day , especially cloudy days , but never during the brightest and hottest hours . they are usually found in pairs , and are very faithful to localities . these owls can be heard calling at all hours of the day , and are most vocal during the rainy and cold seasons .
the diet of these owl species is mostly birds . crows , bee - eaters , parakeets , rollers , coucals , pigeons and doves are their primary food .

) does not approach the thresholds for being vulnerable , either under the range size criterion , or under the population trend criterion or under the population size criterion . loss of habitat is the main threat that may endanger the survival of these owl species .
the account for this species mentions ' record of ground nesting in bombay ' . i cannot find any other mention of this in the literature and wonder whether ' bombay ' is in error for pakistan ? the bibliography includes : mirza , z . b . ( 1985 ) new record of dusky horned owl nesting on ground . pakistan j . zool . 17 ( 1 ) : 109 - 110 , which seems to be the only appropriate reference . i have not managed to obtain a copy of this reference so if anybody can provide more details from it i would be very grateful .
) has not been quantified . the overall population trend of these owl species is considered to be under decline . throughout its range it is reported to be widespread , uncommon to fairly common . the generation length is 11 . 6 years . their distribution size is about 9 , 250 , 000 sq . km .
breeding : breeding season overall spans from november to april . in northern india , it is principally december to january , and later in the south . this owl uses abandoned stick nests of larger birds in the fork of a large tree , preferably standing in or near water . normally two eggs are laid , sometimes only one . eggs are white and roundish - oval in shape , averaging 59 . 3 x 48 . 2mm . they are laid several days apart , so chicks end up being very different in size . usually , only the larger and stronger one survives . while both the male and female have been observed on the eggs , it is likely that the female does the incubation , and the male will briefly cover the eggs when the female leaves the nest for a short time . incubation and fledging periods are unknown .

justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing , the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but the species is reported to be widespread , uncommon to fairly common ( del hoyo et al . 1999 ) . trend justification : the population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction .
