Black and white Illustration of Barn Owl. The barn owl is a bird of prey known for its distinctive heart-shaped face, white underparts, and silent, ghost-like flight. They are widespread, hunt mainly small mammals like voles and mice, and are active mostly at dawn and dusk, though they may hunt during the day when feeding young. Barn owls are found in open country habitats, often nesting in farm buildings, church towers, or hollow trees, and their feathers are specially adapted for silent flight, allowing them to use their exceptional hearing to hunt effectively.
