Owls of Ukraine

Owls of Ukraine is yet another in a line of stamps that commemorate Ukraine's flora and fauna. This souvenir sheet was designed by Oleksandr Lehkobyt and issued on June 14, 2003, in a print run of 150,000 stamps. Hard to imagine, but there's a first day cover with the entire sheet on it!
