The Tamaulipas Pygmy-Owl Glaucidium sanchezi is a Mexican endemic species that is currently classified as endangered. Its distribution is restricted to the forests of the Sierra Madre Oriental from the southern state of Tamaulipas to northern Hidalgo. This note updates the distribution of Tamaulipas Pygmy-Owl with the first record of the species in the state of Puebla, supported by photographic and auditory evidence. This record extends the species distribution by approximately 130 km to the south. Further studies of the species throughout its distribution are required, as much of its biology, ecology, and current population status remain unknown. In conclusion, the populations of Tamaulipas Pygmy-Owl located in the southern part of its range should receive greater attention because of their potential isolation and vulnerability to various threats, in order to prevent their disappearance.
