Snowy put all the haters to rest with a win over the Barn Owl. This frosty feathered one has taken on some of the most exciting owls from the equator we could find. It’s a personal favorite that drives people to do crazy things to catch a glimpse of them. It’s a real celebrity amongst owls. This owl has the energy of a winner and it’s looking to out do its second place it got last year.
Many were sad GHO had to make way for the Saw Whet, but Eagle Owl is looking to pick up their endorsement in its stead. They’ve got a lot of the same characteristics that make them great owls. They’re big with classy patterned feathers. Large talons with crushing grip strength to take care of the largest prey, having been known to (rarely) catch foxes or roe deer fawns! A potential upgrade over the GHO is the Eagle Owl has orange eyes instead of yellow.
Which of these jumbo sized owls will you send to the finals? Will we have a rematch between Snowy and the Scops? Will the Eagle Owl put the Snowy on ice? Upvote now to give us our service finalist!
The ONE choice where I had a favourite and it lost 😦
Fear not, I have a whole stack of Snowy pics to share now that it isn’t a conflict of interest! Photographers will always be on Snowies likes ants to honey.
