Best Answer

A barn owl is in the family Tytonidae, with heart-shaped faces, no ears, dark eyes, and they don't hoot. A screech owl is in the family Strigidae, known as true owls. Screech owls have ears, are generally smaller than barn owls, have yellow to amber eyes, and have two different morphs: red, and gray.
