barking owl
The barking owl (''Ninox connivens''), also known as the winking owl, is a nocturnal bird species native to mainland Australia and parts of Papua New Guinea and the Moluccas. They are a medium-sized brown owl and have a characteristic voice that can range from a barking dog noise to a shrill woman-like scream of great intensity.
The Red List of Threatened Species refers to this species as the barking boobook, but this name is not commonly used.
==Taxonomy==
The barking owl was first described by ornithologist John Latham in 1802 (as ''Falco connivens''). Latham commented that "Inhabits New Holland, but no history annexed, further than that it has a wonderful faculty of contracting and dilating the iris: and that the native name is ''Goora-a-Gang''."
