The Northern Spotted Owl is a distinct subspecies of the Spotted Owl and merits a separate article. See Myrtle Warbler and Audubon's Warbler which are subspecies of the Yellow-rumped Warbler. The Northern Spotted Owl is still listed by the as an endangered species by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service [1] while some of the other Spotted Owls are not. -- Droll 07:06, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I will update the IUCN3.1 conservation status from CR to NT to match the entry on the Red List.
Strix occidentalis (Spotted Owl)
Status: Near Threatened ver 3.1
Pop. trend: decreasing
Citation: IUCN 2010. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Version 2010.4.

Not sure why both Spotted Owl entry and Northern Spotted Owl entries both had the incorrect IUCN status. Are people confusing the USFWS endangered listing for Northern Spotted Owl subspecies with IUCN status for the species as a whole? Thought I'd raise the issue before making the change Kevin Purcell ( talk) 17:48, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Made the fix. I corrected IUCN3.1 conservation status from CR to NT ; added ICUN red list reference to Conservation Status section; split the Conservation Status section into paragraphs for each locale; added Canadian endangered COSEWIC reference; edited the US threatened listing for style (people want to know it's current status first then the history not the other way around). I wonder how many ICUN Red list status are incorrect in wikipedia? Kevin Purcell ( talk) 00:34, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

The Cherokee legend of how the owl got it spots is off-topic. This legend most likely does not refer to the Northern Spotted Owl. For one thing, the legend describes black spots, while the spotted owl has white spots. Also, the Cherokee did not live in the same place as spotted owls. The Cherokee lived in the eastern United States, while the spotted owl lives on the west coast of the United States. Thus, the Cherokee legend would be about a different owl (perhaps the barred owl or barn owl). Inhtmf ( talk) 19:12, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
