About FDC American Owl
Barred Owl:
Barred owls are found throughout eastern North America, from the Atlantic coast to the Great Plains and as far north as southern Canada. They have also expanded their range into the Pacific Northwest. Barred owls are medium-sized owls with a distinctive barred pattern on their plumage. They have round faces with dark eyes and no ear tufts.
Great Horned Owl:
Great horned owls are large owls with “horns” or tufts of feathers on their heads (hence the name “horned”). They have a mottled brown and gray plumage and large, powerful talons.
