Barn owl (masked owl) - Barn owl (English spelling)

Japanese: メンフクロウ(仮面梟) - メンフクロウ(英語表記)barn owl
Barn owl (masked owl) - Barn owl (English spelling)
It is a general term for birds in the genus Tytonidae (family Tytonidae) of the order Strigiformes, or one of the species, Tyto alba (illustration). However, there is some confusion as to which species the name barn owl should refer to; some people call T. alba the barn owl and T. longimembris , which is found in Australia and South Asia, the barn owl. However, the latter is not considered an independent species, and is called the southern barn owl, a subspecies of T. capensis found in Africa.
