摘要：Based on the analysis of 30 pellets collected in 2007, I present preliminary assessment of the diet of the Tropical Screech-
Owl (Megascops choliba) in the city of Medell¨ªn, Colombia. This owl consumed mainly insects, particularly of the orders
Blattodea (cockroaches) and Orthoptera (crickets). The clear dominance of insects in the diet of the Tropical Screech-owl
in Medell¨ªn is consistent with reports from elsewhere in the range this species.
