Quite a few things to query here.

Its Saves are wonky - should be Fort +3, Ref +7, Will +5. (As a dire creature it gets all good saves, or a base of +3/+3/+3).

A Medium-sized BAB +1 Str 10 creature has Grapple +1. The -11 is presumably a spillover from the SRD Owl?

The Advancement of 2 HD (Small) is presumably another spillover from the SRD Owl? It already has 2 HD and is Medium sized. Ought to be something like 3-4 HD (Medium); 5-6 HD (Large).

Actually, it'd make more sense to make the Dire Owl Small sized, so its HD match the Small-size advanced SRD Owl. It also, conveniently, would be half the HD of the SRD Giant Owl, which is Medium sized.
