From the Peterson Guide to the birds of Britain and Europe, ca 1974:
Barn Owl = Schleiereule
Snowy = Schneeule
Long-eared = Waldohreule
Short-eared = Sumpfohreule
Tengmalm's = Boreal = Rauhfusskauz
Hawk Owl = Sperbereule
Great Gray = Bartkauz
It's no help with the strictly North American species like screech, great
horned, barred.
