WINNER: Northern Pygmy Owl 43-16
The stern looking Northern Hawk Owl was a huge hit recently in a series if perch hunting photos. This owl is found all across sub Arctic areas where it hunts rodents in pristine boreal forests. It’s bold stripped look is an attention getter. It’s also one of only a few owls that hunts both day and night.
The Northern Pygmy Owl is from Western North America. This tiny owl (6in / 15cm) sits practically invisible at the top of tall trees to wait for its prey. Previously featured here as the owl with eyes in the back of its head, will this little puffball be able to take down the mighty Hawk Owl?

Yes, this matchup went more lopsided than I expected. After the first hour it was 4-4, but then 15 min later it was something like 12-4 and had stayed at about that ratio since then.
Hitman owl is definitely picking up some new fans though, which is my goal.
