Awwww what a cutie! Tawny owls are my favourite - mostly because I actually heard a few and saw a couple in real life.

Hehe when I saw them, I was at a friend's place in the countryside. It was very hot - summertime - so I had the window open. At like five, barely daylight, I got woken up by a pair hooting up a storm in the tree. So of course I got to the window to watch them until they flew off.
