This is off to a very surprising start for me! 😮

Wow - in a shocking upset it’s Buffy over WFS!

Coming into the contest, the Buff Fronted was virtually unknown, and still remains a mystery! And of course the WFS has a great program that usually sweeps the first few contenders, but not today!

Superbowl fans say the smoky eye and added mystery of Buffy gave it that extra edge that anyone up against WFS needs to have if they’re going anywhere other than the locker room!

Buff just barely squeaked into the tournament, so seeing it pull ahead early is a real accomplishment, if it can hold onto that lead or not.

This is why you gotta check out every match… Anything can and will happen and no Owl gets a free ride!

Looks like WFS catching up in the second half

At least it had to earn it! I felt it got off too easy for most of last year.

White faced.

The other guy looks like his mascara is running.

Show threadanon6789Dec 1

Aww. I think the mask is striking and I like the head shadow that reminds me of the Saw Whet but with that great golden buff coloration like in the chest of the Spectacled Owl in the other game today.

Like the Long Ear that I feel is constantly underrated here, I just don’t get why this guy isn’t more popular. Better overall than a White Face? That is a much tougher question.

Actual picture i found of Patsy “Buff faced” Stone during one of her benders:

White faced are just so charismatic.
Show threadanon6789Dec 1

They do feel designed to win a beauty contest, it’s no wonder it was the first winner and continues to do so well.

That said, Buff Fronted is putting up a good resistance despite being a longshot. I think I find some really competitive photos and I love the green eye highlights in the first image. That send very unique.

The brown corduroy jacket looks classier than the grey tracksuit. Buffy for me.

I love all the different tales you guys have on this match. This is way closer an opening round than I had expected.

My Buff Orpington hen says “Go Team Buff!”
Show threadanon6789Dec 1

Love the hen, but I thought that clump of leaves behind her was a Screech Owl at first glance! 😄

Show threaddragonflyDec 1
I’d be super excited to see a screech in person, ngl.

I’m going to have to go with the white faced owl
Show threadanon6789Dec 2
This is the one every other owl in this game needs to worry about. It has a very rabid fan base here! Not unbeatable, but it takes a lot.

If it’s not too late to vote, I have been told to vote White-Faced.
Show threadanon6789Dec 2

You’re good to vote still. Voting runs approximately 24 hours until I put up the next rounds. At that point, I change the title to Closed and post the final scores. Weekends it’s a little looser based on when I actually wake up 😁

Just upvote for the owl or owls that you think are tops!
