PENAGOS, Angie P.; MARTINEZ, Alejandro  and  RODRIGUEZ-BOLANOS, Abelardo. New record and range expansion of the Buff-fronted Owl ( Aegolius harrisii ) in Colombia. Biota colombiana [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.2, pp.140-146. ISSN 0124-5376.  https://doi.org/10.21068/c2018.v19n02a13.

The Buff-fronted Owl (Aegolius harrisii) is a rare nocturnal raptorial species with a wide distribution in South America. We report a new distribution record in the Regional Natural Park Cerro Páramo de Miraflores, in the department of Huila, Colombia. This is an expansion of its geographical range towards the south along the eastern Andes mountain range, confirming a continuous distribution along the Andes and increasing the upper limit of its altitudinal range by 464 meters.

Keywords : Andes Mountain Range; Miraflores Paramo; Strigidae.
