The bare-legged owl is a small nocturnal owl. It lives in the mountain forests of Central America and is distinguished by its bare legs without feathers on the tarsus.
The bare-legged owl differs from related species with its completely bare legs and voice. It is beneficial to the forest because it catches many insects and helps maintain balance in nature.
