Spectacled Owl at Hacienda Barú
Hacienda Barú, located near Dominical, spans a variety of ecosystems, including primary and secondary rainforest, mangroves, and wetlands. This diversity makes it an ideal habitat for many species of wildlife, including the spectacled owl. The reserve offers guided birdwatching tours, and the spectacled owl is often a highlight for visitors.
These owls prefer dense, mature forests but can also thrive in secondary growth and forest edges. At Hacienda Barú, they are most likely to be seen perched quietly during the day in shaded areas or heard at night when their haunting, low-pitched hoots echo through the forest. Their vocalizations, which include a distinctive "po-po-po" pattern, are often the first clue to their presence.
