About These Birds
Black-and-white Owl
The Black-and-white Owl is a medium-sized owl of humid lowland forests from Mexico to Peru. It has striking black-and-white barred plumage with large dark eyes. It hunts large insects, small rodents, and birds at night, often near forest streams and edges.
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.
