The barn owl (Tyto alba) is the most widely distributed nocturnal bird in the world, occupying all continents except Antarctica. Few other owl species spend their life as close to man and yet are so seldom observed. The reason is simple: barn owls rarely venture from their roost before dusk, and return before sunrise. However, they have adapted well to a close existence with man, taking advantage

of the fact that the rodents upon which they feed are more abundant near man than anywhere else. In this regard, they are one of man's most economically beneficial bird species.

The truth about owls is less fantastical but no less interesting than what humans project onto them.

Thought you might like to see the barn owl box from my backyard. Normally we wouldn’t recommend that you put an owl box in your backyard, but since we live in an agricultural area with few neighbors, for us it works. Hope you are all staying safe and staying sane.
