help Sula Hawk-Owl FAQ
Where does the Sula Hawk-Owl live?
The Sula Hawk-Owl is endemic to the Sula Archipelago in Indonesia. Endemic means its natural range is restricted to that island group.

No. It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the Moluccan Hawk-Owl before a taxonomic split recognized it separately.
What kind of bird is the Sula Hawk-Owl?
It is a raptor in the owl family. Like other hawk-owls, it is adapted for hunting and is associated with forest habitats in its island range.
Why does the taxonomic split matter?
Recognizing the Sula Hawk-Owl as a separate species gives its restricted island population its own conservation and research identity. It also changes how birders and databases record the species.
