Eastern barn owl        Images © Mark A. Chappell

This species was recently split from the very similar common barn owl found in much of the rest of the world.   One of these was photographed as it emerged from its nest hole in a tall eucalypts in a park in Julatten and the other was hunting near Yungaburra, both in far north Queensland.
