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?
Who are you going to choose? You’ve got 2 good choices here. Upvote your favorite now!
Hard choice!
They’re both really good owls!
I’m a bit shocked by Screech’s faltering in the polls overall, as it’s always popular.
It’s one of my favorite things about this whole contest though, how you guys can push things in a different way so quickly.
Yeah really hard choice this one, both strong contenders
I wouldn’t have thought this one would be going this way a week ago, with Speck taking a comfy lead over the Screech. That’s half the fun though!
