Its range is effectively separated into two parts by the unsuitable habitat of the Amazon basin. This nocturnal bird breeds in open mountain forests, laying its eggs in a tree hole. It takes rodents and other small mammals as its main prey, but also feeds on birds and insects. The buff-fronted owl is a small, compact, short-tailed, and broad-winged owl, 23 cm long and weighing 130 g. It is black above with white flecking on the wings. The underparts are unstreaked buff and the tail is brown with two spotted white bars. The head is large, with yellow eyes and a black-edged buff facial disc. The flight is strong and direct. The voice is a quavering trill sometimes varying in pitch. The buff-fronted owl was described by the American ornithologist John Cassin in 1849, and given the binomial name Nyctale harrisii.[2][3] The binomial commemorates the American ornithologist Edward Harris.[4] References1. ^{{IUCN|id=22689378 |title=Aegolius harrisii |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} 2. ^{{ cite journal | last= Cassin | first=John | author-link=John Cassin | year=1849 | title=Description of new species of the genera Nyctale, Brehm., and Sycobius, Vieill.; specimens of which are in the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia | journal=Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia | volume=4 | pages=157–158 [157] | url= https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/5445355 }} The title page is dated 1848 but the volume was not published until the following year. 3. ^{{ cite book | editor-last=Peters | editor-first=James Lee | editor-link=James L.
