Chouette rayée - Strix varia

Barred Owl

Chouette rayée
The Barred Owl is found throughout all of temperate eastern North America, from Florida north well into the boreal forest, and across the northern prairies into western North America, from the Alaskan panhandle south to northern California. Where I live, in southern Ontario, we see a few each winter. They don't hide as well as many other owl species, and they tend to be tolerant of people approaching them, so long as you don't get too close. But I have found them to be really much more common in the south-eastern U.S., in places like Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana, where they are very often encountered, or heard, at night, in wooded or swampy habitats. I have shown this bird amid the foliage of Southern Magnolia, a native tree in that region.
