Pacific Screech-Owl - Megascops cooperi This lovely owl took some finding, didn't seem pleased to have its picture taken, managing to just about open one eye for me. Heard it calling every day, but it took a week of looking to spot it. They are so difficult to spot due to their colouring being so similar to the trees. Guancaste area - Costa Rica. Canon 7d and 100-400mm lens
Found from Mexico through Costa Rica.
It used to be lumped in with the Eastern and Western Screech, but one characteristic that separates it is it has a distinct call.
