Spotted
The Cloud-forest Pygmy Owl is a small, diurnal owl endemic to the humid montane forests of the northern Andes. It is often challenging to observe due to its dense and misty habitat.
Where to spot
High-elevation humid montane forests and cloud forests in Colombia and Ecuador.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic high-pitched hooting call. Requires patience and careful scanning of dense cloud forest foliage, as it can be easily missed.
When to spot
Primarily diurnal, active during the day. Most vocal at dawn and dusk, but can be heard throughout the day.
This species was only recognized as distinct from the Andean Pygmy Owl due to differences in vocalizations and genetic analysis, highlighting the subtle distinctions among pygmy owls in this region.
