Owl of the Year Match 28 - Burrowing Owl vs White Faced Scops Owl
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?
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.
