Fulvous Owl
The Fulvous Owl , or Guatemala Barred Owl is a bold member of the cloud forests of Central America. Its habitat is limited to the high mountain ranges and the previously mentioned cloud forests of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. It inhabits elevations from 3900 to 10000 feet and is fairly common within its range. Although it is primarily nocturnal it is also occasionally seen in the mornings and afternoons. This rather friendly owl responds well to imitations of its call which sounds like woo-who-who-who.

The Field Notes section includes a Central American range map and information on nesting, habitat, description and classification. More
The Fulvous Owl has really quite extensive white markings on his backside. Its Strix family cousin, the Mottled Owl, that may be in the same area has much less white (quite little in comparison). Click here to return to the Fulvous Owl page. More
