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.

How adorable ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ what a hoot

I also love bald eagles (lucky enough to have one as a neighbor) who make a little beepity chirping I like. People feel the need to dub over it.

I do like their chirpy sound, but having been next to one doing some actual screeching before, they can be pretty darn loud when they want!
