Observation details
*sparse. Was sitting on my bed in my cabin when I heard a distant screech over the blasting music and insect noise that instantly recalled a Barn Owl. I threw on a sweatshirt, grabbed speaker, camera, and bins, and ran outside barefooted. Some dedicated playback pulled in this incredible endemic tytonid. Was unable to locate with my subpar flashlight (miss you, Rafa!) as it perched in palms along the dirt road, but heard amazingly well, including the strange clicking before the screech which distinguishes this species from co-occurring Barn Owl. Got a very brief glimpse of it flying over, much darker colored than a Barn, at the end of the experience. What a great way to close out my stay at Villa Barrancolí!
