Penguin or Owl?

Let me know what you think: is this a penguin or an owl? Help me decide. Leave a comment with your vote: most votes decides for me. He is made from one of LaMont's orphaned socks. His hat is part of a wool thrift store sweater I'm unraveling. Penguin or owl, I think he's cute.

    My first thought was penquin, just because of the color. If he wasn't black, he'd look like an owl. I vote swimmer!
