Description

This striped owl was the second type of owl we were privileged to see for the first time in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, Central America.
"Fairly large, pale, eared owl with honey-colored eyes. Favors savannas and other open areas with scattered trees and bushes, such as cane fields and open plantations. Roosts in dense foliage or on the ground, but often hunts from roadside perches such as utility wires. Note the prominent ear tufts (rarely held flattened), whitish face rimmed with black, and whitish underparts with neat dark streaking. Compare with migrant Short-eared Owl, but they are rare as far south as the range of Striped Owl." (www.ebird.org)
