The Barred Owl is a large, charismatic owl recognizable by its dark eyes and distinctive barred plumage. Known for its vocal 'who cooks for you, who cooks for you all?' call, it is a common resident of North American woodlands.
Where to spot
Common in mature forests, both deciduous and mixed, often near water. Its extensive range covers much of eastern and central North America, and it has been expanding its range westward.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, distinctive call. Look for it perched in trees, often quite visible, especially along forest edges or near clearings. Scan tree cavities for potential roosting sites.
When to spot
Active primarily at night, but frequently seen and heard during the day, particularly at dawn and dusk. Calls are common year-round, especially during breeding season.
