WINNER: SNOWY OWL 67-41
Snowy Owl had a good showing in its first round, winning out over the other black and white owl, the Black and white Owl. The equally large Great Horned Owl was defeated after a tough all day battle, so you have to question if it will be a liability for Snowy today. On the other hand, Snowy is a perennial favorite, and arguably one of the most beautiful owls according to quite a number of you. Will Snowy move on, or will it be relegated back to meme status until next year?
Short Eared Owl handily beat the out of this world looking Oriental Bay Owl in round 1. It's adorable but devilish look probably has good crossover appeal with those also feverishly voting for the Goth Owl, Sooty. Like the Barn Owls, Shorty had picked up a variety of different looks around the world. A few are on display for you today, including the darker Galapagos variation. Will those little horns, round chubby face, and great color variations be enough to take down another of the top tier owls in this tournament?

Short Eared Owl
I love how these look. They always look so offended “ the absolute gaul of this dude”
They do have one of the more intense stares. It doesn't look mean, but it's definitely a you don't want any of this look.
Snowy is so last year. Short eared is the new hotness.
I've been pleasantly surprised that none of these matchups has been totally one sided or predictable. Everyone has been a good sport about how it all plays out as well. This is turning out to be a lot of fun.
