Taxonomy update for 2013
Barn Owl Tyto alba is split, with the very localized island archipelago endemic Andaman Masked-Owl being split from the globally distributed and very familiar species Barn Owl :
- Barn Owl (Tyto alba)
- Andaman Masked-Owl (Tyto deroepstorffi)
- Andaman Masked-Owl (Tyto deroepstorffi)
Taxonomy update for 2024
Barn Owl Tyto alba is split into three species, generally separated at the continental level: American Barn Owl Tyto furcata, of North and South America; Western Barn Owl Tyto alba of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East (east to central Iran); and Eastern Barn Owl Tyto javanica which occurs Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka east through Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and Australasia. These owls generally look similar, but some subtle differences in coloration and pattern may be apparent, although each has multiple subspecies which also vary intraspecifically. Genetic differences were one of the main reasons for the split, but are supported by vocal differences.

Beautiful collection. I especially love the flight shots. Well done.
ReplyDeletethanks... actually it was a very lucky day, i saw more than 15 barn owls on a big tree and the owls took turn to flew off and back to the tree... this allowed me to get the flying shots... this was the first time i saw so many owls during daytime, and it might be the only chance in my life...
