2023 Owl of the Year Winner!!! White Faced Scops Owl!!!

With a final score of 125-99, it is clear that White Faced Scops in your choice for the first ever SuperbOwl Owl of the Year! WFS will in the near future be our new community icon, and Snowy, Screech, and Buffy will share the banner. We’ll come up with some good ideas and see what looks best and get that taken care of.

All the owls have gotten a ton of support from you guys, which I loved seeing, and you’ve all joined in the fun and hopefully had a great time. This all went very well and I’m glad it really got all of you excited each day.

We’re over 2100 members strong on Lemmy.World, more than double what it was back in July. It’s great to be here enjoying this group with you. I hope we keep growing and keep having fun learning about owl stealthy feathered friends together. There are many more owls left to share with you, and many things left to learn and talk about.

Thank you all for your participation and being a great community of people!!!

I was sad it got knocked out so soon too!

JJROKCZ,

They look both menacing and surprised depending on the angle!

I like how vibrant orange its eyes are!

Orange eyes are my favorite owl eyes. Some other animals have amber eyes, but I never see any with ones that are this vibrant!

I’m glad WFS won! I was rooting for it, but was worried the popularity of Snowy would win out. This little mustachioed owl was too cool not to win!

anon6789,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

I expected Snowy to win or for it to be a much closer race. Snowy still did very well, but it was another big surprise for me.

I’m curious hoo will be popular next year!

bionicjoey,

That is a superbly owly-looking owl. Well deserved win!

Yes, indeed! Every owl earned their place.

The people have spoken, and it is deemed…SUPERB!

onigiri,

I’m sad Snowy lost, but WFS is truly a superb owl.

Thanks for running this. It was a lot of fun and something to look forward to each day.

Good, I saw your name come up a lot so I could tell you liked it.

I hope you enjoy the normal day to day posts too!

tacosanonymous,

I am shocked. But I guess this is what I get for not voting.

anon6789,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

I technically didn’t vote either, but that’s why it’s always important to vote whenever you get the chance. We don’t always get a say in things, so when the opportunity arises, you should always make your voice heard!

tacosanonymous,

Yeah. My normal instance was down for awhile.

anon6789,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

Oh no! I’ll add a vote for Snowy if you want me to.

QuantumEyetanglement,

I love that this sub is here. Also pics in the comments is exactly what I came here for! 💯

anon6789,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

Good, we’ll be getting back to much more of that!

FluorideMind,

A great ending for another good superb owl season.

So does they get a special Superb Owl RingBand?

anon6789,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

Next one I catch gets a snazzy gold plated one! 😁

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Sweet :)

I wonder, what stories to birds tell- about being caught, stuffed in a sock, then measured… and given that bit of jewelry before being let go.

Like. How similar would that be to an alien abduction story?

anon6789,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

Some of them probably like the shiny bling.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Probably. But …. Everything else? Lol. The belly fat check….

I could just see the Jays making up some kind of tough-guy stuff to impress people; then getting found out when others started showing up with the band

anon6789,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

I can guarantee there’s never been a better one before this!

This may be my favorite owl face

@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

This owl’s expressiveness I feel really helped it. Some owls look goofy, or grumpy, but this guys has a pic of every mood!
