Mexican striped owl (Asio clamator)
The Mexican Striped Owl is native to Central and South America. This strange looking species of owl is related to the British Short Eared Owl and is very adaptable to a number of habitats, including forest, farmland, rainforest, suburban and urban areas. They also eat a varied diet, from small rodents and birds, to pigeons and doves, to reptiles, with spiny lizards being a particular favourite.
They are also intriguing in that they are one of the few species of owls who will roost communally in one tree – one count saw as many as 26 Mexican Striped Owls living together in the same tree. This is unusual, as owls are more commonly solitary or live with their mate only and will fiercely defend their territory from any intruders. While the Mexican Striped Owl does not hunt in groups, it is certainly more sociable than most owls.
