Barn owl. Flying barn owl (Tyto alba). This is a nocturnal predator of small mammals such as mice and rats. It can hunt in total darkness,using sound to locate and catch its prey. Its flight is soundless so as not to alert the intended victim. It lives throughout the world in temperate and subtropical regions,and typically nests in a hole in a tree or a quiet building such as a barn. Photographed in Davis County,Utah,USA | |
