The approximate numbers of barn owls and tawny owls reported as found dead from collisions with traffic in 1989 are 480 and 450 respectively.
I think they should be allowed to decide for themselves in as tawny eases as possible.
Pseudo-melanistic tigers have thick stripes so close together that the tawny background is barely visible between stripes.
Young twigs and both sides of the leaves are covered with a white or tawny loose felt.
The coat is typically tawny, but ranges to silvery-grey or reddish, with lighter patches on the underbody, including the jaws, chin, and throat.
It is rusty to tawny, or ochraceous, and has a velvety or downy feel when young.
Raptors such as tawny eagles prey on the flamingoes.
The skin is covered with a tawny-green mosslike growth which aids in nourishing the blood and skin.
