Spectacled Owl (Pulsatrix perspicillata) (back to trip gallery)

<< Prev | Next >>

We got up a little earlier as our guides had heard this owl calling over the past couple of nights. We tried all over the resorts grounds and were getting ready to quit and leave for La Selva when we heard it call in the distance. Andy was able to bring it in, and Gustavo with his portable anti-aircraft search light was able to pick it out for us.
