WINNER: Blakiston's Fish Owl 36-23

The Tawny Owl is one if Europe's most common owls. Known for its twit twoo vocalizations, this owl looks like a Teddy bear, a living plushie.

On the other side, Blakiston's Fish Owl is a monster of a bird. I feel I've failed to give you guys proper perspective of the size of this owl. This thing is like a werewolf with wings. There is a reason this bird was top of the pantheon of gods to the native people of northern Japan.

Can a cute medium size fluffy owl defeat the largest owl in the world?

Can’t believe the fish owl took this one - such an upset at this stage of the competition :o

I was very shocked myself. The Tawny has been so well received here, and my 2 BFO posts didn't get much traction. Many more Tawny pics to come though, I've gotten very fond of them.
