The Tropical Screech Owl is a widespread and common small owl found across much of Central and South America. Its variable plumage helps it blend into diverse environments, from forests to urban edges.
Where to spot
Throughout most of Central and South America, from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, in various wooded habitats, including open woodlands, forest edges, and urban parks.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic 'wuh-wuh-wuh' series of hoots. During the day, look for roosting owls in tree cavities, dense evergreen foliage, or camouflaged against tree trunks.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Most active and vocal from dusk to dawn, especially during the breeding season when males call frequently.
