The aim of the research was to determine the Football Cleats number and distribution of the Rufous-banded Owls Ciccaba albitarsis in a cloud forest on the northern slopes of the Andes.The study was performed using the territory mapping technique and a GPS device in an area of 7 km2.The number of territories was estimated at 40, resulting in a density of 5.7 territories/km2.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published data on density of the Rufous-banded Owl in a cloud forest.The population density of the species in our study area corresponds with the densities DISPLAYS of the other similar owl species in the Tropics.
