WINNER: BARN OWL 45-19

First up, we have top seeded Barn Owl. This owl has the widest distribution of any land bird, so wherever you may be, there probably is one of these guys nearby.

Going up against them is Cuba's native owl, only member of the genus Margarobyas, is the Bare Legged Owl. Will those fancy legs be enough to win over an owl probably all of you are familiar with?

I like those fancy legs but this is an unwinnable match up, the Barn Owl is too iconic.

Thanks for running this bracket!

Choosing number one seed has been the easiest thing so far in doing this. This owl is anywhere people are and is part of myths and legends.

Will it win overall? People always tell me they prefer the plumicorn owls, so Barn Owl still has a fight ahead.

Glad you're enjoying it so far!
