Koepcke's Screech Owl is a small, endemic owl found in the dry forests of northern Peru. It is a cryptic species, often difficult to distinguish from similar screech owls without its unique vocalizations.
Where to spot
Endemic to the dry deciduous forests and thorn scrub of northwestern Peru, particularly in river valleys and foothills.
How to spot
Listen for its unique, fast trill call. Spotting is challenging; use a powerful spotlight to scan tree branches and dense scrub at night for movement or perched individuals.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Best observed by listening for its distinctive calls at night, especially during the dry season when it is most vocal.
