I just looked up a picture of a Barn owl. You are correct. I'll never forget that mug.

I thought Barn Owls, had (ear?) tufts. And I remember being struck at how completely white he was. The only owls I had ever seen in the wild were much smaller than this big fella.

Notice that "heart-shaped" face?

Ya gotta love any bird with a heart for a face!
