WINNER: Buffy Fish Owl 39-23
The Long Eared Owl has a lot of what it takes to be popular here. It’s spread across much of the northern hemisphere, long ear tufts, orange eyes, and a wide variety of looks and expressions. For some reason, it’s never seemed to get as many upvotes as expected, so will this owl be able to pull out a win today?
On the other hand, the Buffy Fish Owl has just got a good response on a recent post. Though a relatively rare owl, being only found in the islands of Southeast Asia, this owl wins people over with it’s relaxed look and somewhat derpy expressions. Will it’s exoticness and subtle charm get the win today?

You are not too late to vote on either of today’s contests. I’m letting them run for about 24 hours so everyone gets a decent opportunity to vote, since we have a fair number of Europeans and Australian and NZ people here. I pretty much post themand count ballots when I get up, but weekdays you’ll probably have a little more time since I have to get my work finished first. These posts take me a bit longer to do finding multiple good HD photos.
His floppy ears do remind me of a pet bunny. I had a pretty rabbit as a child, though I think I’m allergic to them now. I still pet them though, too soft and cute!
The word derp is said to have originated from the creators of South Park. It supposedly comes from their BASEketball movie, but probably got more popular being used on South Park.
