Abstract
Food habits of the Barn Owl (Tyto alba) were studied at a Cis‐Andean Locality near Trevelin, Chubut, Argentina. Three hundred and three prey items in 107 pellets were analysed. Rodents were predominant, mainly those from the Patagonian steppe, i.e. Reithrodon auritus (30.6%), Eligmodontia typus (29.3%), and Oryzomys longicaudatus (18.4%). Frogs and birds were represented at low rates. Tyto alba is considered a rodent specialist with a widely foraging trophic strategy in open areas.
