In this video, I show a brief overview and the call of the Barred Owl. I also show a bit of its song so that you can distinguish it from the calls. The Barred Owl can also be known in some regions as the Northern Barred Owl, and its scientific name is Strix varia. The Barred Owl is a Strigiforme in the Strigidae family, classified under the genus Strix.
