Barn owls inhabit every continent save Antarctica. However, their Canadian range is quite small: extreme southern Ontario and southwestern BC.<\/p>\n
I saw a barn owl on Mainland BC: as I rounded a curve on the highway, it was standing beside the road. Its colors were vivid, its eyes wide open, as it stared up toward the car I was driving. My impression is that its legs were quite noticeable: it stood tall. Well off the side of the road, it didn’t need to move.<\/p>\n
Barn owls are a beloved species, as far as I’ve read. They nest in buildings (and other places) and eat rodents.<\/p>\n
