This is the field guide for the birds that we have documented at Oliver Nature Park in Mansfield, Texas. Many of these birds still need to be photographed, so don't forget your camera when you go to the park!
The Barred Owl (Strix varia) is a large typical owl native to North America. Best known as the Hoot Owl for its distinctive call, it goes by many other names, including Eight Hooter, Rain Owl, Wood Owl, and Striped Owl.
