Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park, FL

The Barred Owl is a large owl whose preferred habitat is large forested areas. It’s diet consists of small mammals, rabbits, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates. The belly feathers of some Barred Owls are pink which may be the result of eating a lot of crayfish.

The Great Horned Owl is the most serious predatory threat to the Barred Owl. Although they often live in the same areas, the Barred Owl will avoid parts of its territory occupied by a Great Horned Owl.
