San Isidro Owl (Ciccaba sp)

The San Isidro Owl was once thought to be a subspecies of the Black-banded Owl, but now is considered by many to be a species on its own.  There still isn’t a lot of information out there so I’ll share what I can find.

Most people see them readily at Cabanas San Isidro in Ecuador.  I haven’t heard of them being found anywhere else.
