Photo of the Chapel Hill owl



Jerry Partrick kindly lent me a photo of the famous owl to post on the web:

http://www.duke.edu/~cwcook/pix/chowl.jpg

The pic is a little fuzzy, but the bird is clearly identifiable, in my 
opinion. What do you all think it is?

Additional info: Jerry says the owl came up to about his knee when it was 
perched on the ground - this would make it approx 20-22 inches tall.

Thanks to Jerry for reporting his sighting and getting us all excited about 
the possibility of a Snowy Owl in Chapel Hill!
