Unspotted Saw-whet Owl - Aegolius ridgwayi Jason Fidorra 2013-12-10 Parque Nacional Volcan Baru, Boquete, Chiriqui, Chiriquí (Panama) (3300 m) call -

Clear night sky with ~1/2 moon. Bird began unsolicited calling around 23:45. Playback then used to confirm species and the bird responded by flying closer and increasing the speed of its call. File converted from m4a to mp3 (recorded on iphone 5 default voice memos app). To my knowledge, this would be only the second record of this species in Panama- with the first being a bird banded in 1965.

I think this is a young bird, despite the plumage being nearly adult. The bird was perched about 1.5 meters off the ground and gave this raspy begging-like call over and over. We never heard the bird give a typical 'toot' song. Our local guide said there were adults in the area that were still feeding it.
