Greetings greetings! I come with news that will be happy to some. Although the winterspring owl (
http://www.wowhead.com/npc=7455) is still grey, the winterspring screechers (
http://www.wowhead.com/npc=7456) are white again!
Plus, there's a very stunning looking dark brown owl quest mob that flies around just northwest of everlook. His name is Hell-hoot. He's quite big, and very, very tameable! A nice dark brown owl for those that don't want to deal with Sethekk. Plus, being a quest mob, it will be readily available.

That IS good news! Thank you for sharing!
Happen to have a pic of Hell Hoot in the wild? (I confess, I just want to see HELL HOOT in big letters.)

Those blue eyes.... He might just end up in my stables.
It's great news that they're back to being white.

Wain - I THINK he's the same skin, but at first I wasn't sure. He looks a lot more BROWN than that skin, at least he did at first. A little darker. Not quite as olive as the highlights are in the screens. But after following the wild one around for awhile, I see the resemblance. I'll head to sethekk this afternoon to compare. Wowhead didn't have a page for him so I couldn't compare that way.
If that's not the skin, he's a new skin. I didn't find any other match in wmv.
And yes I have a screenshot of him wild, but I'm at work now. Will post this afternoon. He's big - much bigger than the other owls. Plus he has like a thunderstomp and some fire spell abilities. Demon owl from hell, clearly.

Thanks a lot for posting this. I can't log in on either of my hunters on the beta right now, so I haven't been able to look for this myself. (I had a post about the Winterspring owls earlier, how they changed).
Let's just hope the Winterspring owls will be turned into the white ones again.
But this is great news indeed.
And the brown owl looks awesome. I'm a bit of an owl fanatic, so seeing this makes me squee a bit.
