Bonaire’s owls, especially the Screech Owl and American Barn Owl, attract attention because of their nocturnal lifestyle, noiseless hunting, and adaptation to diverse habitats. Conservation programs ensure their safety, maintaining a fascinating and respected role in the ecosystem.
Bonaire’s night guard: the owl in its natural habitat.
Bonaire owls are special birds that attract the attention of residents and visitors alike. These birds live in dry forests to cacti and mangroves. Several species of owls can be found, the most common being the Screech Owl and the American Barn Owl. The owl is a nocturnal animal. This means they are active mostly at night and during the day they rest in trees or other shelters. Their large eyes help them see in the dark and their soft feathers allow them to fly almost silently. This makes them excellent hunters. Conservation programs on Bonaire help keep owls safe. With their mysterious appearance and nocturnal habits, they remain a source of fascination and respect.

My name is Casper Douma and I am a photographer. Since 2014 I’ve been living on this beautiful island, surrounded by a fringing reef. At first glance, you may see mostly cacti and drought, but Bonaire is a little gem if you get to know it better. I would like to take you on one of my photography tours to show you all the special places of Bonaire. In small groups of maximum 4 people I give you a unique look at the beauty of Bonaire. Became curious? Take a look at my website! I wish you a lot of fun on beautiful Bonaire.
