Thanks for translating all the owl names. I’m bookmarking that comment!

I mostly stole it from another list I found, but I cleaned it up a bit and removed the scientific names so it was just the French and English. It's fun to look at the names, like:

Chouette chevêche - Little Owl Chouette chevêchette - Pygmy Owl

So is a Pygmy Owl just a Little Little Owl? 🤔

I do like how French and Spanish (maybe others?) differentiate between horned and non-horned owls.
