Does not occur in Canada - ASW

I strongly support the first comment. Would consider also in southern Ontario, adding A. maculatum, particulalry because these species share, at many locations, a common breeding pool/pond - pmp

Saw-whet owl was harassed to death in Calgary last winter and a Boreal owl also spotted there was extremely stressed. All owl sightings should be obscured.

This species has its sighting locations hidden on eBird across Canada and globally due to the threat of targeted disturbance. Not obscuring them on iNaturalist could undermine eBird's efforts to protect them. -wormwellc

I would add all owl species across the country to reduce the impact by photographers.

I agree, there was a family of Great Horned Owls locally that were unmercifully observed and haunted by photographers. Barred Owls seem to be the only ones that aren't fussed by people and dogs walking in their neighbourhood.

I agree - all owls in all of Canada as per birding protocol.

eBird hides the location of Northern Hawk-Owl and Great Grey Owl across Canada (globally, in fact). At the very least, they should be added here to avoid undermining that.
