The Puerto Rican Screech Owl is a small, endemic owl found throughout the island of Puerto Rico. It is well-adapted to a variety of habitats, including urban areas and coffee plantations.
Where to spot
Widespread across Puerto Rico, inhabiting forests, woodlands, coffee plantations, and even suburban gardens and parks.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic 'coo-coo-coo' call, often given repeatedly. Scan tree branches with binoculars or a spotlight, especially near dense foliage, for roosting birds.
When to spot
Active mainly from dusk through the night. Its distinct call makes it easier to locate during these nocturnal hours.
