==Description==
Bay owls are small to medium sized owls, up to 12 inches in total length. Coloration is a light or buff brown above, with lighter tan to white on the chest, marked sparsely-placed black spots or vertical markings. Like their relatives the [[barn owl]]s, bay owls bear a heart-shaped facial disk, whose distinctive characteristic is the presence of a "forehead" of feathers jutting down to the beak, giving the disk a "V"-shape. The points of the disk are the ear tufts above each eye.

Bay owls are completely nocturnal, spending their days hidden in the trees; by night the birds are active, hunting small rodents, birds, reptiles, frogs, and insects. They nest in tree cavities or hollows, rearing up to five chicks.
