brown owls
Strix aluco birds
Brown owls are medium-sized owls of the genus *Strix*, particularly the tawny owl common throughout Europe and parts of Asia.
They have mottled brown plumage that provides excellent camouflage against tree bark, and they're known for their distinctive hooting call.
In British usage, Brown Owl is also the traditional title for the adult leader of a Brownie Guide unit, the junior branch of the Girl Guides organization.
