ABSTRACT
Past and present status of the Barn Owl (Tyro alba) in Utah is described. Distribution, breeding, food habits, and mortality are discussed. Data suggest that the Barn Owl is present in low numbers in much of the state and is reproducing at a rate above the minimum replacement rate. Food and nest sites do not appear to be limiting factors. However, winter cold and snow cover may limit the species in Utah.
