Barred Owl

Strix varia

18-24 years

Barred owls are native to eastern North America.

Barred owls often hunt from perches and have great nightvision due to their large eyes. The majority of their diet is made up of small mammals, and they rarely go after larger prey.

Barred owls often bond for life, and females lay 2-3 eggs at a time.
