Northern Barred Owl (Strix varia)

This Northern Barred Owl (Strix varia) is one of many live animals at the Center. A great place for kids! The species gets its common name from the bars across its chest and tail feathers. It is also called Hoot Owl. This female is kept at the Center because she was injured and can no longer fly.
