I have a soft spot for owls. I know that all living creatures are important. But there is something about owls.
Totally agree with Lillian and Bob. I believe this owl is one of the most aesthetic in existence, not to mention its equal right to exist in nature. We need to start a SAVE THE SPOTTED OWL campaign !

Perhaps, Obama should earmark some money for the creatures that cannot speak up for themselves.
