The owls stand out to me on the wall - they are nice looking creatures.  I can't recall the other ones I "liked" - I was trying to boost some of the birds that looked like they didn't get many votes.  :)   Love the peregrine falcon - amazing speeds.  And the penguin (emperor perhaps?) that can dive nearly 2000 feet under water.  All the bird superlatives were pretty cool. I walked around today and looked for birds in my neighborhood - suburban Kansas City - I found some but they were too far away and people-shy to get quality photos on my iphone.  I will put some food in the bird feeder outside my kitchen window and maybe have better luck. There are these hawks that circle high up in the sky in our subdivision - I think they might be red-tailed hawks but I am not for sure.  I also like the crazy sounding owls, I think they are "barred" owls, that wake me up sometimes... they emit different, loud sounds - sometimes it sounds like cackling, almost like an excited monkey.  Then other times they make a tongue rolling sound that sounds slightly like the phrase "who cooks for you."
