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.
