Barred Owl

SPECULATED

Strix varia

A nocturnal hunter whose 'who cooks for you' call is the unofficial soundtrack of Leonida's deeper woods.

The Barred Owl is Leonida's most commonly heard owl, its eight-note 'who cooks for you, who cooks for you-all' call carrying through cypress swamps and hardwood hammocks at dusk. Despite its plump appearance, it's a silent and efficient nocturnal hunter.
