Polk County, Iowa December 13, 2020

            The Great Horned Owl is the most serious predatory threat to the Barred Owl. Although the two species often live in the same areas, a Barred Owl will move to another part of its territory when a Great Horned Owl is nearby. I found this Sleepy Barred Owl of off a trail in Polk County, Iowa on December 13, 2020.
