I got thinking about the black eyes and every = picture of a GG shows yellow eyes. But it was soooooo gray and looked so big.. So after = flailing through every bird book I=92ve got I now know it was a Barred. The fact that there are quite a few = Barred Owls in and around our property helps support the Barred ID. So don=92t come looking for a GG; pass by if you want to chat and look = at some much less exciting birds.
