Striped Owl

A Reference for North and Central American Owls

The Striped Owl of Central and South America is closely related to the North American Long-eared Owl. Although it has a wide range across this region it is very sparsely reported and poorly studied. Because of wooded habitat destruction, it is often written that new areas are being opened up for this owl. We doubt that habitat destruction could improve this species total numbers. Here you can find photos and information to help identify and enjoy this beautiful owl. The Field Notes section includes a Central American range map and information on nesting, habitat, description and identification.
