Spotted
The Tawny-bellied Screech Owl is a medium-sized owl found in the Amazon basin and surrounding humid forests. Its striking tawny underparts give it its common name.
Where to spot
Lowland humid rainforests across the Amazon basin in South America, including parts of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its low, purring hoot, often repeated rhythmically. Spotting can be difficult in dense rainforest canopy; use a powerful spotlight to scan high branches.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Most active and vocal after dusk. Its presence is often indicated by its calls from within dense forest.

This owl is often found near water bodies, likely due to the abundance of amphibians and large insects it preys upon in such environments, making riparian areas prime observation spots.
