Tropical Screech Owl (Otus choliba)

The Tropical Screech Owl (Otus choliba) is a common small owl in a range that extends from Costa Rica to Argentina at altitudes to about 2800 meters or 9200 feet. Although nocturnal I found this one hiding in a plantain tree at 9:00 AM. The talons show evidence of a recent successful predatory event.
