	Birds, Familiar: Eastern Screech Owl, Life Histories of North American Birds, A.C. Bent
		Screech owls have been known to nest in bird boxes, set up for that purpose on trees or buildings, and they would probably do so oftener if given more encouragement; a little sawdust or excelsior in the bottom of the box is quite to their liking.
		The mouth of the Screech Owl, while hardly to be compared with that of the Whip-poor-will from the standpoint of size, is, nevertheless, relatively large or wide, and the hair-like feathers of the nasal portion of the facial disc probably perform the same insect catching function as the enormously developed rictal bristles of the Whip-poor-will.
		Screech owls are ordinarily quiet, gentle birds; they can be lifted from their nests or roosting holes without offering any resistance; they may indulge in ominous bill snapping but seldom use their claws, which are sharp as needles.

		A few switchbacks down the road was Alta Nieve, famous for being the type locality of the enigmatic Long-whiskered Owlet, a bird mainly known from mist-net captures and never having been seen by a tour group yet.
		Not surprisingly this creature did not give up its secrets, but during our pre-dawn walk we heard another range-restricted night bird, the Cinnamon Screech-Owl, and an evening trip back down the trail resulted in unsurpassable close-ups of this magnificent little owl, which ended up as the bird of the trip for several participants.
		The lagoons just off the beach harboured White-tufted Grebe, Cinnamon Teal, thousands of Common Moorhens and a variety of waders, in the reed beds we found Wren-like Rushbird and Many-coloured Rush-Tyrant, and from the ocean shore we spotted Peruvian Pelicans, Peruvian Boobies and Kelp Gulls.
