Species of owl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wetar scops owl (Otus tempestatis) is an owl endemic to Wetar of the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. It was previously considered a subspecies of the Moluccan scops owl (O. magicus), but was split as a distinct species by the IUCN Red List and BirdLife International in 2014, and the International Ornithological Congress followed suit in 2022.[2][3]
