Wikipedia: The spotted owlet (Athene brama) is a small owl which breeds in tropical Asia from mainland India to Southeast Asia. A common resident of open habitats including farmland and human habitation, it has adapted to living in cities. They roost in small groups in the hollows of trees or in cavities in rocks or buildings. It nests in a hole in a tree or building, laying 3–5 eggs. They are often found near human habitation. The species shows great variation including clinal variation in size and forms a superspecies with the very similar little owl.

Two of the three great horned owlets this past spring at a park in Safety Harbor, Florida. Of the three, sadly only one survived. Two were poisoned by rodenticide.

It's not a great photo, but it was the first time we've seen this owlet.
The photo was taken before sunrise, while we waited to enter Jim Corbett National Park.
It was very dark and we saw her perched on top of a branch. At first, we didn't realize what it was. Only when she moved did we realize it was an owlet.
It was the only time we saw this species.
