『 Sovembar 』
The city of Kikinda (eastern Vojvodina, Serbia) is one of the biggest winter roost sites of the long-eared owl (Asio otus) in the world. The owls can be seen perched on trees in the town. In November, the educational program "Sovembar" is organised in Kikinda.
In 2009, ornithologists counted up to 743 owls in Kikinda's city center. The town has been unofficially claimed as the Owl Capital.
The term "Sovembar" comes from "sova" = owl in Serbian, and "novembar"
