The spectacled owl (Pulsatrix perspicillata) is a large tropical owl native to the neotropics. It is a resident breeder in forests from southern Mexico and Trinidad, through Central America, south to southern Brazil, Paraguay and northwestern Argentina. The spectacled owls are largely nocturnal, starting activity right around the time of last light at dusk and usually being back on their roosts for the day around first light.
