The barred owl also known as the northern barred owl, striped owl or, more informally, hoot owl, is a North American large species of owl. Their diet consists mainly of small mammals, but this species is an opportunistic predator and is known to prey upon other small vertebrates such as birds, reptiles, and amphibians, as well as a variety of invertebrates. Barred owls are largely native to eastern North America, but have expanded their range to the west coast of North America where they are considered invasive. The Barred Owl’s hooting call, “Who cooks for you?” is a classic sound of old forests and treed swamps. Originally a bird of the east, during the twentieth century it spread through the Pacific Northwest and southward into California.

The bald eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. Rather than do their own fishing, Bald Eagles often go after other creatures’ catches. A Bald Eagle will harass a hunting Osprey until the smaller raptor drops its prey in midair, where the eagle swoops it up. A Bald Eagle may even snatch a fish directly out of an Osprey’s talons. Fishing mammals (even people sometimes) can also lose prey to Bald Eagle piracy. The bald eagle is actually a sea eagle (Haliaeetus species) that commonly occurs inland along rivers and large lakes. The adult male has a wingspan of 2 metres (6.6 feet). Females, which grow somewhat larger than males, have a wingspan of 2.5 metres (8 feet).
