Todayβs guest is the Barred Owl (Strix varia)!
Barred Owls blend into the forest with their streaked brown-and-white feathers, camouflaging them among the trees as they search the woods for prey.
Most Barred Owls stay in the same area year-round, and studies of banded birds found that none had moved more than 6 miles away.
