Owls (Strigiformes Wagler, 1830) in Bulgaria : Past and Present (A Review of the Fossil Record and Present Status of Recorded Species)
Two families, 8 genera, 12 species, and 13 subspecies of recent owls are recorded in Bulgaria. Two species (Bubo scandiacus and Strix nebulosa), established in the Pleistocene localities, disappeared from the country’s recent avifauna. The southernmost limits of the European breeding ranges of thr...
