lovely.
this does seem like a Great Gray Owl according to the Wikipedia. The color of the eyes and the pattern of its feathers on the belly and chest differentiate it from the barred owl.
@ Shelley thanks, I think i will go with the Great Gray Owl.
This owl had a great personality and was very adorable.
