We describe a nest of a Cinnamon Screech-Owl Megascops petersoni found in a disturbed primary forest with interspersed pastures, in Yambrasbamba district, Amazonas, Peru. The nest was 5 m above the ground inside a cavity in a standing Alchornea sp. (Euphorbiaceae) tree. It contained a single off-white, oval egg, placed on a layer of dried bamboo leaves (Chusquea sp.). This is the second nesting record of M. petersoni, and the nest resembles the only previous description in placement, clutch size and breeding activity period.
