	Lost and poorly known birds: targets for birders in Asia [Archive] - BirdForum
		This owl is known from the island of Buru (and probably Seram) in South Maluku, and Yamdena and Larat in the Tanimbar group, Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
		Crows the size of Slender-billed (which occurs on neighbouring Sulawesi and the Sula Islands) were seen at six localities during these visits, with only one sighting of a smaller crow, perhaps this species, in mossy forest at 660 m at the western end of Peleng in November 1991 (Indrawan et al.
		No subsequent fieldworkers on the island have encountered the species, and it may have declined owing to a combination of hunting and extensive habitat destruction (the type-specimen was taken at 1,090—1,120 m, but this may have been at the upper limit of the species).

		The geographical conditions of Tawi-Tawi’s 107 islands and islets make navigation difficult because of extensive reefs.
