Seeing Guatemalan Pygmy Owl in Guatemala with CAYAYA BIRDING
Belonging to the Northern Pygmy Owl complex (G. gmoma s.l.), Guatemalan Pygmy Owl (Glaucidium cobanense) is endemic to Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and the south-Mexican state of Chiapas. Guatemalan Pygmy Owl occurs mainly above 1500 m (5000 ft) elevation, thus the Chiapas-Guatemala highland is the core area of distribution. In Guatemala it is widespread throughout the highlands.
Guatemalan Pygmy Owl is mostly diurnal and feeds mainly on vertebrates (birds, lizards). Most of the CAYAYA BIRDING tours include sites with good chances of seeing Guatemalan Pygmy Owl.
