The Band-bellied Owl is a medium to large-sized owl found in the humid montane forests of the Andes. Its distinctive barred underparts give it its common name.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and cloud forests along the Andes, from Colombia south to Peru and Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, hooting calls, often a repeated 'whu-whu-whu'. Spotting can be challenging in its dense, misty habitat; look high in the canopy.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Best observed by listening for its calls from dusk through the night, particularly during the breeding season.
