Aegolius gradyi is a scientific name primarily associated with a fossil species of owl. While not a living bird for modern birdwatching, it represents an extinct member of the Saw-whet owl lineage, offering insights into their evolutionary history. Information provided is general for living Aegolius owls.
Where to spot
For living Aegolius owls, typical habitats include dense coniferous or mixed forests, particularly at higher elevations or in colder climates.
How to spot
For living Aegolius owls, observation often involves listening for their repetitive, often mechanical-sounding calls at night. Locating them during the day requires careful searching of dense tree cover where they roost.
When to spot
Living Aegolius owls are predominantly nocturnal, active from dusk till dawn. Their calls are most frequently heard during the breeding season.
