So happy to find another Scops Owl that doesn’t look like most of the others!
Not too much is know about this owl. It lives in the forests of Costa Rica and Panama.
Its hooting sounds like Morse code in this clip.

Beats me. I could never find any decent sounding explaination that didn’t sound like an anecdote or folklore.
Here’s what they do sound like. It’s high pitched, but I wouldnt call it a screech. I find both calls very charming. Maybe people were just spooked easier in the Olden Days?

I do like their chirpy sound, but having been next to one doing some actual screeching before, they can be pretty darn loud when they want!
