Buffy has retained a bit of its popularity from last year, coming off a great win over Mottled Wood. I thought the newcomer would have given it a bit more challenge, but its charming personality overcame the challenger with no issue.
The petite Saw Whet has been making big waves, having the second highest score of the first tier matches. There's been a few people calling for SWO to go all the way to the finals.
Both owls are known for their charming appearance, one a dopey big lug, the other is pure concentrated cuteness. Which owl gets your vote? Upvote them now!

I hope this works!
Wow that’s a great fucking shot man 🫨 You caught the little guy at a really good angle
What’s your camera kit?
Nikon D7100. I just went outside and was 6 feet away
🫨 wow that’s extremely close
What’s your lens
55mm-300mm Nikkor and it let us get close
That's the photo you took?
It looks amazing! 😍
Thanks! It just sat and stared :D
There is a >0% chance you could have been the first human it ever saw up close depending how far away it flew in from!
It's a really good picture and if Saw Whet moves on I can use it as one of the photos if that's alright. I feel it's on par with them.
Yeah, several members of the family grabbed their phones and cameras and it let up just snap away.
I still look for an owl in that spruce tree :)
That must have been fun!
They don't migrate to the same place every year, but you still have a tree that has been blessed by a fine owl. 🦉
Praise be He has arrived 🦉 🙏
