            Hehe. I did have amazing luck with owls in Peru: I saw 20 species, 7 of them Megascops! Posted 4 years ago

              I'm sure it's a little more than luck. I think on average in an entire 2 or 3 week trip we'd see just one, if at all :) Posted 4 years ago

                Yes, but you have to remember I was there for a year! One owl per 2 week trip is my normal average as well. Though I did have excellent luck (plus some dedicated efforts it's true) in January. I had one week with six owl species! Posted 4 years ago
