About These Birds
Bearded Screech-owl
The Bearded Screech-owl is a small owl found in the highland cloud forests of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas in Mexico and western Guatemala. It has brownish, cryptically patterned plumage with fine barring and elongated ear tufts. Like other screech-owls, it hunts small invertebrates and vertebrates at night in dense montane forest.
African Scops-owl
The African Scops-owl is a small, cryptically patterned owl with a wingspan of about 26 cm and a weight near 88 g. It roosts by day pressed against tree bark, blending in perfectly, and calls at night with a repetitive, monotone whistle across African savannas and woodlands.
