**2.19** *Glaucidium nubicola*

Stomach contents of one museum specimen had insect remains and one lizard (ANSP 181044 [holotype]) and another specimen had insects (ANSP 180178) [36].

There is an observation of an adult feeding a juvenile with a lizard [37]. There is also one photographic record of an adult preying upon the lizard *Andinosaura oculata* in Mindo, Pichincha, at 17 h00 [38]. These authors erroneously identified the observed owl as *Glaucidium jardinii*, which occurs at higher elevations.

One individual ringed in Reserva Las Tangaras, Pichincha province, had one lizard *Pholidobolus vertebralis* on its talons when mist-netted and when recaptured [39]. Terrestrial lizards apparently represent an important feature of this owl diet (JF. Freile unpubl.).
