The Black-banded Owl is a large, striking owl found in humid lowland rainforests of Central and South America. It is characterized by its dark plumage and prominent barring.
Where to spot
Humid lowland rainforests, often near rivers and streams, from southeastern Mexico south through Central America to northern Brazil.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, hooting calls, often a repeated 'hooo-hoo'. Spotting can be challenging in dense forest; use a powerful spotlight to scan the mid-story and canopy near water.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Most active after sunset. Its deep hoots can carry far through the dense forest.
