Description wikipedia

The northern boobook (Ninox japonica) belongs to the family Strigidae (true owls) and is a raptorial owl endemic to eastern and southern countries of Asia. The species was considered, until recently, a conspecific of Ninox scutulata or brown boobook, a species of similar distribution encompassing 11 subspecies. The species currently includes two subspecies, the migrant Ninox japonica japonica and the non-migrant Ninox japonica totogo. Despite being considered as the most common breeding owl in Japan, little research has been conducted on the species and subspecies and the taxonomic classification of N. j. totogo and N. j. japonica has been a subject of debate. There are no indications of significant decline in northern boobook populations and therefore its conservation status has been classified as least concern by the IUCN Red List.

褐鹰鸮(学名:Ninox japonica)也称北鹰鸮或北方鹰鸮,一种中型鸮形目鸟类,隶属于鸱鸮科鹰鸮属。是一種掠食性鴞類,分布於亞洲東部和南部國家。該物種直到最近仍被認為與Ninox scutulata為同種,Ninox scutulata包含11個亞種,分布範圍類似。 目前,褐鷹鴞包括兩個亞種:遷徙型Ninox japonica japonica與非遷徙型Ninox japonica totogo。儘管被認為是日本最常見的繁殖鴞類,但對於此物種及其亞種的研究相對有限,N. j. totogo和N. j. japonica的分類亦曾引發爭議。 目前無顯著的褐鷹鴞族群減少跡象,因此其保育狀態被國際自然保護聯盟瀕危物種紅色名錄列為無危。
