The Barred Owl (Strix varia), commonly known as the hoot owl, is a large typical owl. Its breeding habitat is dense woods across Canada, the eastern United States and south to Central America. They hunt at dawn, dusk, or night, by waiting on a high perch or flying through the woods and swooping down on prey. They mainly eat small mammals, such as mice and rabbits, and also small birds.
