Notes
Park Species Detail: In June 2005 YELL ornitholgist Terry McEneaney stated this is the true classification of Otus kennicottii. In April, 2006 Doug Keinath-Lead Zoologist-Wyoming Natural Diversity Database notes: formerly included in genus Otus, New World screechowls are now given their own genus (Megascops), based on mitochondrial DNA and vocal differences with Old World species (AOU 2005, NatureServe 2006)
