I live on a cattle farm in west/central MO, and I hear this Barn Owl on a fairly regular basis. I know there's at least one that nests in our old wooden barn (go figure) and was able to climb the ladder to the hayloft to see it before I got so crippled up. Amazing and beautiful creatures!

Of all the birds in North America(United States), The owls are my favorite birds...of the owls, The Barn Owl is my favorite. Just wish I was a wildlife rehabilitator so I could maybe have more contact with them.

Only have seen them in flight; rather I had 1 swoop down near my head when I was a child of 5 years. They are scary sounding as they look.

I grew up on a dairy farm. Iremember climbing a wood silo and finding 2 or 3 barn owls sitting and hissing and swaying @ me. They move in a circle or oval. Memories.
