One of the eight states comprising the Great Lake Region, Indiana has quite a few diverse landscapes, with hills, kettle lakes, sand dunes in the north, valleys, and rugged terrain with exposed bedrock in the south. 9 owls make their home in this state, including the ubiquitous Great Horned Owl, the rare Barn Owl, and the extremely adaptable Barred Owl.
As indicated above, the Barn Owl is becoming a bit of a rarity in Indiana with only 43 nests recorded in recent times. This is mainly due to a loss of the grassland habitats where these owls usually nest.
