Otus flammeolus

Still poorly understood. Altitudinal and translatitudinal migration hypothesized for N populations S to N Mexico, and very probabe that many N birds winter in area from C Mexico to Guatemala, or extending to El Salvador (several winter recvords); S Mexican populations more likely resident. High breeding-site fidelity and variation of diet with prey abundance make nomadic behaviour unlikely. Vagrants recorded in USA E to Florida.
