Long-whiskered Owlet (Xenoglaux loweryi)
One of the most secretive owls in the world—tiny, elusive, and endemic to the cloud forests of Northern Peru.
For years, I considered it nearly impossible to photograph it during guided tours… until now.
This time, patience, luck, and silence paid off.
A magical encounter with a ghost of the forest.
