They tend to occur in large, unfragmented blocks of m ature forest, possibly because old woodlands support a higher diversity of prey and are more likely to have large cavities suitable for nesting. Barred Owl's preferred habitats vary, from swamps to streamsides to uplands and may contain hemlock, maple, oak, hickory, beech, aspen, white spruce, quaking aspen, balsam poplar, Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, or western larch.
