Species Account:
We observed a Barn Owl carcass near the Simplot feedlots along the main road through Grandview. It was on the road verge on the N side of the road, in an area where there are trees and shrubs (likely roost sites?) on either side of the road. We observed the very orange/cinnamon color wings with gray shading on the upperside. One wing blowing in the breeze revealed the lighter underside and characteristic slightly striped pattern.
We could make out part of the white face and round facial disk, as well as the hooked raptorial beak. We weren't able to see the breast (partially flattened) so are unsure of possible sex (could not tell if the bird was very light or very dark chested).
Location submitted is accurate to within ~20m. I grabbed a GPS point on my phone as we drove past slowly, then adjusted the location back using trees and other landmarks on the map satellite view
