	Digimorph - Tyto alba (barn owl)
		The barn owl, Tyto alba, is a ubiquitous species that is spread across much of the world, although it prefers more temperate climates.
		Tyto alba is a nocturnal predator that typically hunts small rodents with its heightened senses of sight and hearing.
		Cliffsides are postulated to be the original habitat for barn owls; however, these birds now are located primarily in rural environments where there is an abundance of prey, along with numerous open buildings in which to nest (Johnsgard, 2002; Marti, 1992).

	MORE EGGS THE BETTER: EGG FORMATION IN CAPTIVE BARN OWLS (TYTO ALBA) Auk, The - Find Articles
		ABSTRACT.-We studied rapid yolk deposition (RYD) in Barn Owls (Tyto alba) on the basis of the analysis of 26 eggs laid by "dye-dosed" captive female Barn Owls in five different broods.
		Thus, it is important to take into account the actual number of eggs laid, all eggs resorbed before oviposition, and all the follicles that undergo atresia, when assessing the energy-nutrient requirements for an entire reproductive attempt.
		Among raptors, the Barn Owl (Tyto alba) has an exceptionally high reproductive potential, which is rather similar to that of passerine birds.
