Description
The Barn Owl is unsurprisingly one of the worlds most popular Owls, and perhaps as it inhabits over 30 countries is one reason we all love them so much..
The common adult Barn Owl has two color phases: white and orange. In the white phase, the owl is colored a pale yellow orange, spotted with dark gray-brown and white. Its wings are a tawny color, with a medium orange tail that is mottled with gray. Its facial disk is white circled by a dark brown ruff with brown patches in front of its eyes. The orange phase, however, is darker with a medium brown facial disk. It has a pale yellow underside that is spotted with brown. A juvenile/immature bird is basically the same, but with less extensive spotting.
The Barn Owl has a very distinct heart-shaped facial disk, surrounded by a dark ruff. It has small, dark eyes, an elongated beak, and no ear tufts. Its wings are about two times the length of its tail. Its tarsi are covered with short feathers.
