Pese a esto, su conducta reproductiva aún no es del todo conocida. Aquí describo el primer registro de anidación sobre el suelo de esta especie de búho en estado silvestre, localizado en el cantón de Grecia, Costa Rica. El nido lo registré dentro de una cavidad natural ubicada sobre el suelo, cerca de un riachuelo; en el interior permanecían dos huevos de color blanco. Durante una segunda visita, dos meses después, registré dos pichones, los cuales estaban saludables y completamente emplumados con plumón. En el sitio donde encontré el nido se realizan proyectos urbanísticos y se caracteriza por la presencia de escasa vegetación arbórea; predominan los cultivos agrícolas permanentes típicos de la zona: café y caña de azúcar. Probablemente este nuevo registro, de una especie de búho anidando de manera inusual sobre el suelo, está atribuido a la escasez de árboles con cavidades naturales adecuadas para la anidación.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The Mottled Owl (Ciccaba virgata) is a common species in the Neotropics. Despite this, their reproductive behavior is not completely known. Here I describe the nest of this owl on the ground, registered in Grecia town, Costa Rica. The nest had two white eggs in a natural cavity on the ground, near a stream. During a second visit, two months later, I registered two chicks, apparently were healthy and feathered. The site where the nest was found is located under the influence of urban development projects, and is characterized by the presence of little arboreal vegetation, predominating agricultural permanent crops typical of the area, such as coffee and sugar cane. Probably, this new record of this owl species nesting on the ground is attributed to the scarcity of trees with natural cavities suitable for nesting.]]></p></abstract>
