The White-throated Screech Owl is a relatively large screech owl found in the Andean cloud forests of South America. Its distinct white throat patch is a key identification feature against its otherwise dark plumage.
Where to spot
High-altitude cloud forests and humid montane forests along the Andes, from Venezuela south to Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, hooting calls, often given in a rapid series. Use a powerful spotlight to scan dense foliage and tree branches, focusing on areas with a good canopy cover.
When to spot
Exclusively nocturnal. Best observed by listening for its deep, hooting calls from late evening into the night, especially during the breeding season.
