Snowy put all the haters to rest with a win over the Barn Owl. This frosty feathered one has taken on some of the most exciting owls from the equator we could find. It’s a personal favorite that drives people to do crazy things to catch a glimpse of them. It’s a real celebrity amongst owls. This owl has the energy of a winner and it’s looking to out do its second place it got last year.
Many were sad GHO had to make way for the Saw Whet, but Eagle Owl is looking to pick up their endorsement in its stead. They’ve got a lot of the same characteristics that make them great owls. They’re big with classy patterned feathers. Large talons with crushing grip strength to take care of the largest prey, having been known to (rarely) catch foxes or roe deer fawns! A potential upgrade over the GHO is the Eagle Owl has orange eyes instead of yellow.
Which of these jumbo sized owls will you send to the finals? Will we have a rematch between Snowy and the Scops? Will the Eagle Owl put the Snowy on ice? Upvote now to give us our service finalist!

While
Rush albumSnowy Owl is one of my all-time faves, I’mma root and toot for the Eagle Owl this year. *Sousa-like-tunes*There’s no wrong choice today.
Sousa seems fitting for the Uhu.
How do you sa yin English “combat de regard”? “Eyes fight”? “Glaring contest”?
I would say “staring contest.”
When it comes to owls I think “glaring contest” could definitely work too
Staring contest sounds friendly.
Glaring contest sounds like there’s stakes.

Look at the first picture! This cannot loose!!
I wasn’t sure if that looked too mean, but I ended up decided it showed supreme confidence.
The ONE choice where I had a favourite and it lost 😦
Fear not, I have a whole stack of Snowy pics to share now that it isn’t a conflict of interest! Photographers will always be on Snowies likes ants to honey.

That second picture reminds me of the “it’s hekin’ wimdy”-meme, although I’m guessing it’s saying “it’s hekin’ frosty”
It does look like that! 😁
