Barn Owl  (Tyto alba)  
Adapted from an original watercolor illustration in the Golden Field Guide Eastern Birds

This slender, ghostly pale resident of belfries, barns, and grain silos appears deceptively large—especially in flight—due to its oversized wings and long legs. It hunts in open areas, and may roost in nest boxes and abandoned buildings, even within cities. Primarily nocturnal, Barn Owls can nab a mouse or rat in pitch-darkness, relying solely on their acute hearing.  Their call is a harsh, grating, hissing screech.
