Spectacled owl

Strix nebulosa

Why the spectacled owl?

They grow to approximately 46 cm and weigh approximately 850 g. They have very distinctive coloration, being mostly black-brown with a yellow-brown belly and a striking white pattern on their face that looks strikingly like spectacles.

Did you know?

The males call out with a peculiar voice that resembles the tapping of a hammer on a dry branch. The voice of the female is a shrill scream.
