About These Birds

Black-banded Owl

The Black-banded Owl is a medium-sized owl of South American tropical forests, recognized by its dark brown plumage boldly barred with white across the underparts and a rounded head without ear tufts. It inhabits lowland and foothill rainforests from Colombia and Venezuela south to Bolivia and Brazil. Nocturnal and secretive, it feeds on small mammals, birds, and insects, calling with distinctive hooting notes in the forest understory.

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.
