"Playback" usually means use of a recorded call of a bird played back to attract it. The practice is discouraged by ethical birders and photographers since playback can interfere with breeding and nesting activities.

Regarding the ethics, here in Brazil playback is used by birders and guides, who guide both Brazilians and foreigners.
I was looking at American Birding Association, and the code of ethics does not prohibit the use, but ask that whenever using it, limit the use. And that's something we do down here.
And most of us never use it, close to nest areas.
Richard, thanks for pointing the discussion about flash on the forum.
Regards,
Jefferson

Nice detail, Jefferson. Did you use a flash? I like the wet look.

Nice bird and nice shot. Just a bit too bright a flash (or the white balance is a bit off). But I'd be happy to have this in my files. I have no objection to the use of playback outside of breeding season, so long as it is disclosed, as you did. In the case of many jungle birds, it's the only way you are ever going to see the bird.

Good use of flash with great detail & DOF. Well composed frame and the dark BG works nicely Jefferson.
I have yet to catch an owl in the wild, but hopes springs eternal..
Well done!

Hi Howard,
plan yourself some trip to Brazil. I can almost guarantee you that at least 3 or 4 species you could get.
Thanks for your comments!
