Barn Owl Patch

#56 Barn Owl

Though their name suggests the countryside, Barn Owls can be found in any open habitat, urban to rural, where they nest in natural and human-made cavities like church steeples, caves, cliffs, and boxes. Their low-light vision and hearing are incredible; their ability to locate prey by sound is the best of any animal ever tested. These silent nocturnal predators live on every continent except Antarctica.
