Description

The barn owl is the most widely distributed species of owl and one of the most widespread of all birds. Barn owls do not hoot, instead emitting a long, eerie screech. With its ghostly appearance, rasping shrieks, and habit of roosting in such places as church belfries, this bird has attracted much superstition. However, it is really a good omen for farmers who find it in their barns, for it preys chiefly on mice and rats. Discovered in its daytime retreat, the Barn Owl bobs its head and weaves back and forth, peering at the intruder. At night it is often heard calling as it flies high over farmland or marshes. One of the most widespread of all landbirds, found on six continents and many islands.

This image was captured in Licking County, Ohio, USA.
