Spotted
The Cinnamon Screech Owl is a striking small owl endemic to the humid montane forests of the eastern Andes. Its rich, cinnamon-brown plumage gives it its evocative common name.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes in southern Ecuador and northern Peru.
How to spot
Listen for its distinct, purring trill call. Spotting is difficult due to its small size and dense habitat; look carefully in the mid-story and canopy of tall trees.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Best found by listening for its calls after sunset. It is typically most vocal during courtship and nesting periods.

This owl is considered a 'species of concern' due to its restricted range and habitat loss within the fragmented Andean forests, making any sighting particularly special for birdwatchers.
