The desert
Desert biome
Yes they do live there.
Barn owls tend to live closer in fields. They eat mice so they stay closer to fields and cities. However, if the city is in a desert area, the owl can survive. I live in Tucson and we have pleanty of barn owls. They just stay closer to the city than going out in the desert.
owls
All owls have night vision. Since the desert can get so hot, most animals, including owls, come out at evening or night to avoid the heat of day. Since they're active at night, it's good to have nocturnal vision. Some desert owls are elf owls, pygmy owls, burrowing owls, great horned owls. It allows them to hunt when it is cooler.
