The flammulated owl (Psiloscops flammeolus) is a small, nocturnal owl approximately 6 inches long with a 14 inch wingspan.
The owl gets the name flammulated from the flame-like markings on its face.
The flammulated owl is similar in appearance to the western screech owl, but is only about one-quarter the mass, lacks large ear tufts (but has small ear tufts that are barely visible), and has dark eyes and a different voice.
Unlike many owls, they are migratory, leaving Canada and the United States in the fall.
