Field notes and comments are presented about faunal diversity in four mountain ranges in the Madrean Archipelago in Northeast Sonora, Mexico, observed during a formal survey on Mexican Spotted Owl from January, 1993 to December, 1995. Of 253 wildlife species reported for the area, only 146 were recorded: 7 amphibians, 21 reptiles, 81 birds, and 37 mammals. Some important observations include the black bear, a recent record of a new black tailed prairie dog colony, Mexican spotted owl sightings, and some Mexican Goverment Listed species.
