Common name: Northern barred owl, hoot owl
Strix varia is occasionally seen in the Garden. These owls are nocturnal, but sometimes in early summer, they are seen during the day teaching their young how to hunt. For more details, see the Nov. 13, 2020 Garden Story. Also, read about our resident "owl whisperer" in another Garden Story.
