Cinereous Owl (Strix sartorii)
About the Cinereous Owl
The cinereous owl (Strix sartorii), or Mexican barred owl, is a species of owl that is endemic to Mexico. The cinereous owl has historically often been considered a subspecies of barred owl (Strix varia), sometimes along with the fulvous owl (Strix fulvescens). However, since 2010, vocal and genetic differences have been shown to warrant its treatment as a species in its own right, according to the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and the Clements taxonomy. However, as of December 2020 the BirdLife International Handbook of the Birds of the World retains it as a subspecies of barred owl.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 11 recordings for this species: 11 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
