The
barred owl is nocturnal, which means it sleeps all day and prowls
for food all night. The barn owl hunts in areas rich in rodents,
where there are trees for perching available. There are thirty-nine
species considered endangered in New Jersey. The barred owl is one
of them. This is a rather large bird with dark eyes and yellow bill.
It is dark brown, mottled with pale spots and dark bars. This owl
is most similar to the spotted owl.
