The Southern Black-banded Owl is a large, striking owl found in humid lowland rainforests and woodlands across much of South America. It is characterized by its dark plumage and prominent barring.
Where to spot
Humid lowland rainforests and woodlands across South America, from Colombia to northern Argentina and southeastern Brazil.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, hooting calls, often a booming 'hooo-hoo' or 'hoo-hu-hoo'. Spotting can be challenging in dense forest; use a powerful spotlight to scan the mid-story and canopy.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Most active after sunset. Its deep calls are a good way to locate it.
