Fulvous Owl Strix fulvescens
Version: 1.0 — Published November 7, 2014
Distribution
Distribution in the Americas
Fulvous Owl is resident from southern Mexico south to Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras (Dickey and van Rossem 1938, Friedmann et al. 1950, Monroe 1968, Land 1970, Thurber et al. 1987, Howell and Webb 1995). Specimens of Fulvous Owl from Oaxaca (Friedmann et al. 1950) were not accepted by Binford (1989) or Howell and Webb (1995); these specimens were collected by Mario del Toro Aviles, of whom Binford concluded (1989: 60) "Most localities on his labels probably are correct, but because some are not, all must be questioned". Recently, however, Fulvous Owl has been confirmed in Oaxaca, Mexico using aural and spectrographic evidence, expanding its known range northwest by 350 km (Ramirez-Julian et al. 2011).
Distribution outside the Americas
Endemic to the Americas.
Habitat
Fulvous Owl inhabits cloud forest and montane humid tropical evergreen and pine-oak forest (Peterson and Chalif 1973, Howell and Webb 1995, König and Weick 2008). The elevational range of Fulvous Owl is 1200-3000 m (Howell and Webb 1995).
