The white-breasted race alba is the only owl which is golden-buff above and white below.
The barn owl is often seen ghost-like in the dusk, or caught in the lights of a car, where it appears all-white.
Like all owls, its feather tips are split to break the wind flow at the trailing edge of the wings, eliminating even the soft sound of flowing air to produce absolute silent flying.
