Abstract

We provide vocalization recordings of a male Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis) in a meadow of the Sierra San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico, on 27 April 2023, whose presence had been recently noted but not verified with vocalization records. This recording confirms the current presence of the species in northern Baja California and suggests the existence of a potentially important reservoir of intact habitat.

Proveemos registros de vocalización de un macho del búho manchado (Strix occidentalis) en una Ciénega de la Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, México, el 27 de abril de 2023, cuya presencia había sido recientemente notada pero no verificada con registros de vocalización. Este registro confirma la presencia actual de la especie en el norte de Baja California y sugiere la existencia de un área potencialmente importante de hábitat intacto.
