Speck did well in its first match, with a solid win over the Great Grey. This handsome and intelligent looking owl really won the crowd over.
Meanwhile, Screech Owl has a bit of a rocky start for a returning final 4 owl. The Philippine Scops and its nebula eyes almost took its place. Maybe just early round jitters?
The Spectacled and the Screech are significantly different from each other. Speck had been featured from time to time, especially the one from Suffolk Owl Sanctuary. It seems to be doing a bit better here then it normally does.
The Screech is very popular. I don’t think we’ve likely ever gone a week without a Screech Owl or two. We like it awake, we like it sleepy, we like it angry. But have we gotten bored with this little one?

Wait?! When did this happened ??
Guys… Are you for real?
The lack of love this group gives some like the Great Grey I can understand, even if I don’t agree with it.
The Long Ear ticks all the boxes:
Yet still I feel it underperforms in the likes every time I post one.
I don’t think I could ever pick a single favorite owl, but whatever top list I could make would need to have LEO on it.
I don’t get it either. Long Ear Owl ❤️
That’s a good pic.
I need to get to Hawk Mountain one of these days. It’s about an hour from me, but in the middle of nowhere.
