Abstract
I describe a new species of screech-owl from the humid tropical montane forest of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia. A genetic comparison indicated that it belongs in the genus Megascops, and that it has no close relative. I provide an overall assessment of the vocalizations of the New World screech-owls.
Translated title of the contribution | A new species of megascops (strigidae) from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, with notes on voices of new world screech-owls |
