About These Birds

Barking Owl

The Barking Owl is a medium-to-large owl of the family Strigidae found in woodland and open forest across Australia and parts of New Guinea. Weighing about 567.3g with a wingspan of 59.7cm, it is named for its distinctive dog-like barking call. It is nocturnal, hunting rabbits, possums, small birds, and large insects from exposed perches.

African Scops-owl

The African Scops-owl is a small, cryptically patterned owl with a wingspan of about 26 cm and a weight near 88 g. It roosts by day pressed against tree bark, blending in perfectly, and calls at night with a repetitive, monotone whistle across African savannas and woodlands.
