This coloring page introduces the Barred Owl (Strix varia), a large, nocturnal bird native to North America, ideal for young artists ages 6 and up. Known for its dark eyes, round head, and unique barred pattern, this owl’s call sounds like “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all?” and it hunts small animals both at night and around dawn and dusk. Kids can bring it to life with shades of brown, gray, and cream, adding white around the eyes for depth.
Using colored pencils and crayons creates soft textures, while markers add boldness to the striped details.
