WINNER: SCREECH OWL 19-17
The ESO has to be a fan favorite. Tiny, comes in 3 colors, plumicorns, great vocalizations, this owl has so much going for it.
On the other side, we have the Crested Owl. This wildcard from Central and South America probably isn't familiar to you, but it takes much of what people love about the Screech Owl and cranks it to 11. Only member of genus Lophostrix, this little owl has HUGE plumicorns. Will it's flashy style be able to defeat such strong opposition?

Hoping for an upset here. Those plumicorns are massive.
Screech has such popularity it's going to be tough to beat, but I feel Crest has a fighting chance moreso than a lot of other owls would.
