WINNER: SNOWY OWL 70-64

Buffy Fish Owl has overcome some big obstacles to get here. It made a name for itself against Long Eared Owl. It managed to defeat the top ranked Barn Owl in a huge upset victory. Then it was able to get a victory over the popular Little Owl. Now it's up against a living legend in the semi-finals. Does Buffy have what it takes to be the new King or Queen of Owls?

Snowy Owl needs no introduction. You've seen it everywhere. It easily defeated newcomer Black and White Owl, then the loveable devil Short Eared Owl, and just now, it stopped Flammulated Owl in its rise to owl notoriety. Snowy Owl has made it look almost too easy.

Will this perennial icon hold on to the crowd today, or will Buffy's unsuspecting charms win the day? Vote now!

Gotta go for the resting sick-of-this-shit face of the Snowy Owl

I like when they look like agitated Muppets.

I vote for Buffy's unsuspecting charm!

I love all the pictures where it's in the greenery. I've said before, it reminds me of Baloo from Disney's Jungle Book, and those types of backgrounds really bring that out to me.

Snowy owl! It's a classic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It sure is. Snowy is just so photogenic!

But the other one looks hilarious

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

That it does! They're both so superb!

Snowy Owl sounds loveable but the French name is Harfang of the Snows which sounds badass

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Harfang means "hare catcher.". That is a cool name!

Love me some snow owl, but I gotta hand it to the Buffy fish. That is some loveable goofs she's got

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

They're both big and playful. It's hard to pick just one!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Snowy owl has always been a favorite! It must win!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It looks like a lot of people agree with you!

Very hard choice to make. The buffy is cute but the Snowowl is so much more majestic. Gotta go with the latter.

My vote goes to the BFO!

The Buff is tough! He's making a comeback!
