Owl of the Year Match 25 - Buffy Fish Owl vs Little Owl

WINNER: BUFFY FISH OWL 62-57

Welcome to Round 3!

Buffy Fish Owl had been making a name for itself in this tournament. It narrowly picked up a win against the star of the show, Barn Owl. Does this leave Buffy unstoppable? This large, goofy owl had won over a lot of heart so far, but we've still got a lot of great owls left.

The innocent looking Little Owl has been on a path of destruction, taking no prisoners. First down, Australia's Barking Owl. Next victim, New Zealand's only owl, the Ruru/Morepork. Now its sights are set on Southeast Asia to take down Buffy Fish Owl.

Here's how our opponents stack up today.

Buffy Fish Owl

With an adult size of 40 to 48 cm (16 to 19 in) and a weight of 1,028 to 2,100 g (2.3 to 4.6 lb), it is the smallest fish owl species.

Little Owl

It is usually 22 cm (8.7 in) in length with a wingspan of 56 cm (22 in) for both sexes, and weighs about 180 g (6.3 oz).

Quite the difference in size, habitat, and look between these 2. Which is going to move on today? Vote now!

- That fluff is buff
  
  I was surprised when I read he's the runt of the Fish Owls. He's still pretty darn big!
- Bring it home, Buffy!
- Buffy the fish slayer?
  
  It's the job he was born to do!
- Today vote for BFO.
  Both of them !
  
  A BFO vs BFO final would be so epic!
  
  I've had to watch what I call them today!
- I LOVE THE WINK!
  
  He looks so friendly all the time. I don't think I've seen this owl with a "grumpy" face yet!
I'm sorry, but I have to: do Buffy Fish Owls kill and/or date vampire fish?
- Who's going to start working on this fanfic??
  
  Logically, it would be about the Buffy fish owl and the White faced scops owl, the mustachy vampire owl.
  Too bad, we don't have some sort of wareowl to add a love triangle !
This one coming down to the wire!
- It has been a real nail-biter for me all day! I definitely have a favorite in this contest.
  
  Current count is Buffy 55, Little 54 discounting whatever knuckleheads keep downvoting things.
  
  I'm curious who the overnight voters are. I always assume they're people on the other side of the world due to the time zones, but I'm sure we have insomniacs and 2nd/3rd shift folk too.
  
  Anyone voting after this comment, where are you and if it's not daylight there, why are you awake? 🧐
