Flammulated Owl (Psiloscops flammeolus), Patagonia Lake State Park, Santa Cruz CountyThis Flammulated Owl was
found by a state park employee and photographed by Alan Schmierer
and Stuart Healy on 06 December 2018 Flammulated Owls breed in ponderosa pine forests
through much of Arizona, and winter in Mexico and
central America. There are very few records of this
species in winter in the United States, and this may be
the second documented winter record from Arizona. This species is
also very rare in the Arizona lowlands; this may be the
first record from the Sonoita Creek area. Small owl with dark eyes, reddish facial disk. 06 December 2018, photo by Alan Schmierer
