WINNER: WHITE FACED SCOPS OWL 71-69
The Burrowing Owl fans have been psyched all week for this little goofball to claim the crown. Many think this owl is unstoppable. Too cute, too funny, they think no one can touch the Burrowing Owl. What other bird can dominate the sky, the earth, and the Internet like this owl?
Stepping up to the challenge is the less common, but still an Internet staple, the White Faced Scops. Whitey does good in pictures like Burrowing Owl, but his claim to Gabe is video. This may be a disadvantage, but even in still frame, this owl has the big orange eyes, beautiful soft plumage, the classic ear tufts of a Scops Owl, and maybe most importantly, THAT STACHE! This owl is modern and retro chic at the same time. Like post-war modern style, this owl never goes out of fashion.
Which owl reflects your style and will be the last of the Final 4 contestants for the first ever Owl of the Year? Upvote it now?
Poor Burrowing, by far the most personality of any owl
Buffy Fish Owl is making his inroads on personality. I’ve kept out the pics of multiple owls, which I think would give Burrow an unfair advantage because they have an OP group derp multiplier. Seeing half a dozen of those guys go all head spinny at once would just be unfair to ask the other owls!
Overall though, it is very challenging to find an unflattering pic of a Burrowing Owl. Such quirky little dudes.
My fav is a little sad but when theyre too hot and they hike up their feathers and stick out their legs its so dang funny looking I cant help but laugh
Ya do what you gotta do when it’s hot and there’s no AC! They got the right idea by living in the shade though. It must be chilly at night though, maybe that’s why they live together so they can stay warm and snug.
