New records of the Stygian Owl (Asio stygius) in the center and south of the province of Misiones

Abstract

The Stygian Owl (Asio stygius) has a disjunct distribution from Mexico to Paraguay, southeast Brazil and north Argentina. In Misiones, Argentina, the species has records in the east center and north of the province. However, its presence in the southern part of Misiones is still unknown. In this work we update the distribution of the species in the center of Misiones, we report observations of injured individuals, a frequent problem of nocturnal raptors in Argentina, and we provide the first observations of the species in the south of the province.
