Baby in a barn, maybe (5)

I believe the answer is:

owlet

(Other definitions for owlet that I've seen before include "Baby nocturnal raptor" , "Small bird of prey from Africa and Asia" , "Young nocturnal hunting bird" , "Wise young" , "Junior member of parliament" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
