It can depend on where you live. In some places the Barn Owl is very scarce and even endangered. If you are in the U.S., the Barn Owl is rare in midwestern states and some New England states. It is also rare in the UK. Barn Owls are more often heard than seen. Because of their silent flight, a Barn Owl can fly right over you and you'd be unaware unless you happened to look up at the right moment. On the other hand, if the Barn Owl lets out one of its trademark screams, you would definitely know it was there. Barn Owls possibly the most vocal of the owls. They have over 16 different vocalizations that have been identified, including screams, screeches, squawks, clicking, and hissing. All owls are very difficult to find during the day because they stay very still and blend in with their surroundings. One way to see Barn Owls is to find a local Barn Owl nesting box and stake it, being sure to not interfere in any way, and NEVER to climb up to the box. Just observe from a distance, using binoculars, and most of all LISTEN. If there are Barn Owls about you'll hear them first.
Why are barn owls endangered?
Barn owls are endangered because people build on the owls habitat, and people kill rodents and such which the owls eat, so when people kill rodents, the owls have to go some where else to feed.

Also, it is the most widely distributed bird on earth, found on every continent but Antarctica. It is listed as a species of least concern by the IUCN.
