Spotted
The Pernambuco Pygmy Owl is a critically endangered and recently described owl endemic to the fragmented Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil. It is one of the rarest owls globally.
Where to spot
Extremely restricted to a few highly fragmented remnants of lowland Atlantic Forest in Pernambuco state, northeastern Brazil.
How to spot
Due to its extreme rarity and critically endangered status, observation is highly challenging and typically requires specialized conservation efforts and expert knowledge of its few remaining habitats. Listen for its unique calls.
When to spot
Primarily diurnal, active during the day. Observations are exceedingly rare due to its low population numbers and restricted habitat.
This species was only recognized as distinct in 2002 and is considered critically endangered due to severe habitat loss, with very few confirmed sightings, underscoring its precarious status.
