Explanation:

For each sentence, we need to identify the type of sentence (simple, compound). A simple sentence has one independent clause, while a compound sentence has two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet).

1. The sentence "There are many different species of owls, but barn owls are my favorite." is a compound sentence as it has two independent clauses joined by "but".
2. "Owls camouflage themselves with their surroundings." is a simple sentence as it has one independent clause.
3. "Snow owls are white, and camouflage themselves in the snow." is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by "and".
4. "Owls are birds, and birds have feathers." is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by "and".
5. "Owls use their sharp claws to grab their prey." is a simple sentence with one independent clause.
6. "Other birds of prey are loud when they fly, but Owls don't make any sound." is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by "but".
7. "Owls are predators, and have forward - facing eyes that can't see close up." is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by "and".
8. "Female owls are larger than males, but male owls are more powerful." is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by "but".
9. "Owls live in barns, trees, old buildings, and tunnels." is a simple sentence with one independent clause.
10. "Owls are nocturnal animals, but some species of owls eat during the day." is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by "but".
11. "Owls swallow their food whole because they don't have teeth, but they have sharp beaks that are used to shred their food." is a compound - complex sentence (due to the "because" clause being a dependent clause and the two independent clauses joined by "but"), but based on the given options of simple and compound, it has two independent clauses joined by "but" so it's compound.
12. "Mrs. Stankovich loves owls, but Mrs. Estock does not." is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by "but".
