Natural Habitat - Cut Banks
Think about this; the common Barn Owl has been on this continent for over 18,000 years. So were did they nest before humans began building barns around 400 years ago? Cut banks like these provided excellent habitat, and the Barn Owls light tan color is the prefect camouflage in this type of environment.
Rimrock can provide excellent habitat for many types of raptors. Many generations of Barn Owls have called this small cave their home.
