    I've never been able to choose my favorite type of owl because I love them all so very much...I will admit though that the barn owl continues to mesmerize me more and more every time I watch them with their unique beauty and vocals ❤

      EUROPE AND US have different owl species, for instance, they have no great horned owls there, and US has no Tawny Owls. Europe does not have Screech owls either.

      thanksMartha, but not exactly the answer to my question. I will do a search. Screech owl is just a nickname not a species on its own...its the barn owl. is this correct?

    • @marthasundquist5761
      @marthasundquist5761 7 місяців тому +8

      @janetfitzgerald5794 I believe it is it's name but there are several species. The most common in the US is the Eastern Screech Owl. They look kinda like baby sized Great Horned owls. The barn owls in Europe may be nicknamed screech owls...or just commonly called that although it is not their proper name.

    • @RobertEFuller
      @RobertEFuller  7 місяців тому +23

      The barn owl is actually not a screech owl, it's just a colloquial nickname here in the UK. There are 22 different species of screech owls, and the barn owl isn't one of them!

      Tyto is owl, and alba is white. So its name is literally the white owl.

      I heard a noise like this while out in the middle of nowhere (totally pitch black) to do some night photography. It's pretty unnerving when you can't see it and don't know what it is (In fact, I'm still not sure if I heard a barn owl or if it was a fox or some other animal).

    • @HeadphonesUK
      @HeadphonesUK 7 місяців тому +4

      Owls move their heads like that because their ears are uneven placed on each side of their head, so they move their head to get an almost 360 degree radar of their surroundings

    • @mirrepoix
      @mirrepoix 6 місяців тому +1

      @@HeadphonesUK they're referring to the barn owl's threat display, where they use the swaying of their large round faces to help intimidate and make themselves appear bigger. 3:31
      owls can rotate their heads because their eyes are so large, they're fixed in the socket. so they can't move their eyes to look in a different direction, they have to move the entire head. the uneven ear slits do help them identify sound with better precision, but they don't have to bob their heads to use this
