Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Up until now, the northern limits of the breeding range was thought to be the Chelomdja and the Yana rivers of the Tauy bay of the Sea of Okhotsk species were reported from the beginning of 21 Century in the Yama portion of the Magadan State Reserve. This means that the breeding range limits is located 280 km further East. The Yama river is estimated to have from 3 to 5 breeding territories of the Blakiston’s Fish Owl.
