Bubo sinclairi

† Bubo sinclairi is an extinct eagle-owl known from Pleistocene fossil material recovered in the United States. It was a medium-to-large carnivorous avian predator, inferred to have hunted small vertebrates in a manner consistent with modern eagle-owls. The species is distinguished from related North American forms by skeletal proportions and contributes to understanding Pleistocene raptor diversity in North America.
