Kinderchick:
Thanks for all the links with info, Alison... very interesting!  :) Yes, the feet on the owlets are enormous.  :o And I do love their fluffy coats! The first photo looks as if mom said, "Pose for the camera now." ;)

carly:
They are beautiful, love their 'coats'!  :-*

I don't think so . . . they are a type of European owl (Bubo bubo). I think they are very handsome owls - and look at the size of the feet on the owlets!
