About These Birds
Black-capped Screech-owl
The Black-capped Screech-owl is a small, nocturnal owl of Atlantic Forest in southeastern South America, with distinctive ear tufts, a black-bordered facial disc, and cryptic brown-streaked plumage. It inhabits the forest understory and edges of humid forests in Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. It feeds on large insects, small mammals, and other small vertebrates at night.
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.
