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?

I'm not sure if the tough choice is keeping people away from this one vs the bigger response in the Barn vs BLowl or what. This is a tough one to start with, but I feel it's only going to get tougher ahead once it's all big name owls.
