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.

I think somebody interupted their plans for world domination.

That owl is neither bare, nor getting shanked and not even screeching. I am disappointed.

Sorry, here’s one of the bare shanks.

Screech Owls don’t screech either, so I can’t help on that front.

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’m glad you enjoy them! I wanted a funk bird to kick off the week right.
