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!
