Barred Owl

Barred Owl

A Reference for North and Central American Owls

The Barred Owl’s range is expanding west, now all the way to the north-west coast of North America, where it is slowly displacing its slightly smaller resident cousin, the Spotted Owl. Here you will find photos, recordings and a brief field notes section to help identify and enjoy this beautiful owl. A brief comparison of the Spotted and Barred Owls is given in the field notes tab below to help separate the two similar owls in the field.

A more in depth write up can be found in its natural history page.
