Specacled Owl - Optic Knockhatch / Falconer Owen Lait

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.[1] There are six subspecies.[3] One is occasionally treated as a separate species called the short-browed or brown-spectacled owl[4] but the consensus is that it is still merely a race until more detailed analysis can be done
