The Ural owl (Strix uralensis) is a large nocturnal owl. It is a member of the true owl family, Strigidae. The Ural owl is a member of the genus Strix, that is also the origin of the family's name under Linnaean taxonomy. [3] Both its common name and scientific name refer to the Ural Mountains of Russia where the type specimen was collected.
Botev Peak, the highest mountain in the Balkan range at 2,376 metres (7,795 ft), is located in this section. The Eastern Balkan Mountains extend from the Vratnik Pass to Cape Emine, with a length of 160 kilometres (99 mi). The highest peak is Balgarka, at 1,181 metres (3,875 ft). The eastern Balkan Mountains form the lowest part of the range.

The barred owl is roughly intermediate in size between the larger Ural and the smaller tawny owl, but the structural features of its relatively short and decurved claws more so resemble the tawny species as does their dietary and habitat ecology. [9] The spotted owl has been hypothesized to be within a superspecies with the barred owl. [13]

In Finland, Ural owl displaced tawny owls but great grey owl peaceably allow them in the vicinity. [100] Although moderately hardy during sub-freezing winters, severe winters can be dangerous in areas such as the Russian part of their range. [4] [98] Mortality in general in the northern limits of the range is probably higher than Ural owl. [101]
A noteworthy feature of the vertebrates in the park is that 30% of the species are living at the edge of their historical ranges. The result is that northern taiga species, such as the Ural owl, can be found in close proximity to southern steppe species such as the European bee-eater. [1] [6]
