White Faced Scops kicked off the tournament with a bang. Even as the first matchup, it garnered an easy win with one of the highest scores so far. Its popularity does not seem to be diminished at all.

Long Eared Owl squeezed out a win against the tiny terror that is the Elf Owl. LEO is doing alright, but it’s going to have to toughen up to beat the reigning champ.

Both owls are very nicely colored, they have great plumicorns, lovely orange eyes, and are capable of a wide range of expressions.

Is it still “long live the king,” or are you looking for a change? Upvote your favorite!

    I just want to thank you for making these posts to vote on.

    I don’t know much about owls but I do know these posts make me smile, and that is a rare win these days.

      While we aren’t immune to negativity here, it is easier for us to stay positive here, with so many beautiful pictures of things you haven’t seen a million times and touching stories of owl medical care and the people doing it. There are more than 250 owls in the world, and they all have so many wonderful and unique things to them.

      I’m glad you’re all able to come here to smile and learn more about the semi-secret world of owls. I never thought I would be sharing all this, or that so many of you would listen to it, but I’ glad you all do, and I’m happy to get people interested in new things, and to hopefully encourage them to support their local wild animal rescues.

      Hopefully you hang around even after the tournament. It’s not quite as intense, but we still explore new and exciting things every day!

      It’s going to be a tough owl to beat!

      I always hope for a shake up and to have you guys subvert my expectations, but I can find no fault with the WFS or those who vote for it!

    Hmmm . . While I’m a loyal Scops man, I’d still vote against my boy Elf Owl’s nemesis. This was his year! Robbery!

    (As an SEC college football fan, that’s just second nature to us - pay it no mind)

      You’ve gotta go with your heart!

      I have a certain respect for people that stay fans even during extended slumps. Those are the real fans!

      The LEO lovers amongst us thank you for your support!

      I was so happy with the pictures I found of it, I really hoped it could pull off the upset.
