 To find out which owls live in your area, simply google "owl species in [insert state or country]." You should be able to find a list fairly easily. Another option is to look at the range maps in a bird book. For owls in the United States and Canada, you can find the different owl calls on this website: [https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/ AllAboutBirds].
 If you live outside North America, you can search on YouTube or Google for “[insert owl species name] calls” and should be able to find recordings of their calls. Note: many owls have more than one different-sounding call. You only need to know one call from each species.
