Chouette rayée - Strix varia
Barred Owl
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.
