Great idea Mister Foxhound! I am more than willing to change into anything that our plan would require to get those children back!

(occ: does anyone have a book where I can find a flying animal that fits into the 'small' category or larger? Does anybody know of an animal off the top of their head?)

Great horned owl?
Condor?
Eagle?
Large bat?
Winged pig?

Wow...eagles kick ass. Fly 80 ft. And check out those Listen and Spot bonuses...

Matt, I agree with you that a great horned owl qualifies as a small animal. I checked on the site that Dave sent me and a normal owl is listed as a tiny animal but an eagle is listed as a small animal and a great horned owl is as large as an eagle. Here are the specs for a normal owl:

At this point in the game, it is the evening isn't it? I would be an eagle if it is dawn but I think an owl's nightvision will be helpful in the dark.

It's cool with me if you want to use the Owl stats, but say you're a Great horned owl and change the size to Small...

It's around midnight, in-game.

OOC: I think owls have low-light vision, not darkvision. Which, I think, let's you see fine by starlight. If we go underground, though, don't count on seeing much. Just an FYI. A bat is better for underground shapeshifting, I think.
