Tawny-bellied Screech Owl - Megascops watsonii George Paul 2007-08-27 Provincia de Sucumbíos, Sucumbíos (Ecuador) (240 m) song -

This recording was made from a dug-out canoe that was positioned along the banks of 'Heron Lake' next to La Selva Ecolodge, along the banks of the Napo, in Ecuador. The bird was located in a tree along the banks of the lake, and I was able to approach it quite closely in the canoe. Many species can be heard in the background,
