Bubo virginianus

One individual observed at the Murici Ecological Station on 19 January 1986 ( Teixeira et al., 1987) is the only record of this owl for the state. Given the document- ed presence of this species in extreme northeastern Brazil ( Lima et al., 2018), its occurrence in Alagoas is not so unexpected.
