The Cloud-forest Screech Owl is a small, relatively recently described owl species found in the humid montane forests of the central Andes. It is known for its high-pitched call.

Where to spot

Humid montane cloud forests in Peru and Bolivia, typically at moderate to high elevations.

How to spot

Listen for its high-pitched, whistled calls, which are quite distinct. Due to its cryptic nature and dense habitat, it's often much easier to hear than to see visually.

When to spot

Nocturnal. Most active and vocal during the breeding season at night. Its calls are often the best way to detect its presence.
