Strix varia Called the Barred Owl due to the bar-like stripes on chest - horizontal bars on the upper chest, vertical bars on the lower chest. Also known as a hoot owl, the Barred Owl has a distinctive call which sounds like "who-cooks-for-you, who-cooks-for-you-all." The shape of an owl's face is like a radar dish which collects sound, giving owls 3D hearing. Using this incredible hearing, owls are able to pinpoint the sound of their prey on the ground, even if they can't see it. The frayed edges of the owl's flight feathers allow it to fly silently so that it can hear its prey. Once located, it flies down and uses it powerful talons to capture its prey. |
