Description
Barking Owl -
Scientific name: Ninox connivens
Conservation status in NSW: Vulnerable
Description
The Barking Owl is a typical hawk-owl, with staring, yellow eyes and no facial-disc. It is grey to greyish-brown above, with white spots on the wings and almost white underneath with greyish-brown vertical streaks. The larger male may be up to 45 cm in length, larger than the Southern Boobook Ninox novaeseelandiae and smaller than the Powerful Owl N. strenua. It has an unmistakable, quick, dog-like ‘wook-wook’ territorial call, which it repeats. Pairs of birds perform call-and-answer duets; the male’s call is slower and deeper. It also has a rather terrifying, high-pitched tremulous scream, heard early in the breeding season, that has earned it the name ‘screaming-woman bird'.
Thanks for Looking,
Stuart
