The Colima Pygmy Owl is a small, recently described owl endemic to the Sierra Madre del Sur of southwestern Mexico. It inhabits humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Humid montane oak and pine-oak forests in southwestern Mexico, particularly in the states of Guerrero, Jalisco, and Michoacán.
How to spot
Listen for its distinct hooting call. Requires access to specific montane forest habitats and careful searching, as it can be very cryptic.
When to spot
Primarily diurnal, active during the day. Most vocal at dawn and dusk, when it is most likely to be detected by its calls.
