"The 'barn' owl name conjures visions of Americana, but this owl actually is a distinctly international species: The barn owl, Tyto alba, glides the night skies over Australian grasslands, Indian deltas, African savannahs and South American rain forests. According to many ornithologists it is the most widespread land bird on the planet." (MOTHER EARTH NEWS) This article examines the barn owl and explains how its acute senses of sight and hearing make it such a proficient hunter.
