Spotted
The Long-whiskered Owlet is a tiny, enigmatic owl found only in the cloud forests of northern Peru. It is characterized by extremely long, hair-like facial feathers (rictal bristles).
Where to spot
Extremely restricted to humid montane cloud forests in a small area of northern Peru, often at high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its unique, soft, trilling calls. Due to its extreme rarity and dense habitat, seeing it requires immense luck and expert guidance in its specific, often remote, habitat.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Observations are exceedingly rare. The best chance is by listening for its calls after dark, as it is highly elusive.
