Barred Owls are large owls that live in swamps and dense forests in the Eastern and Mid-Eastern parts of the United Sates, some of the Southern parts of Canada, and certain parts of Mexico. The Barred Owl has a well-known hooting call that goes like this: “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?” This bird's biggest predatory threat is the Great Horned Owl. If a Great Horned Owl is nearby, even if it is in the Barred Owl's territory, the Barred Owl will quickly relocated itself to another part of its territory, and return to where it was the Great Horned Owl leaves. If you would like to learn more about the Barred Owl, check out the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's description of it: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Barred_Owl/id
