Stygian Owl
Of the several other species of this genus which are remarkable for the very long ear-tufts we may only mention the Stygian Owl (A. stygius), a bird of eastern tropical America, ranging north to eastern Mexico and Cuba.
It is about twenty inches long, dusky above with a sparse mottling of yellowish white and grayish white below, coarsely barred and irregularly striped with dusky. It is further distinguished by having the toes naked and the ends of the longer wing-quills much narrowed.
