Today is the day we pick the other half of our final 4 contestants! We have some great matches today, and the pairings are perfect for some brutal bird battles.

This first matchup has a pair of the biggest owls of the Eurasian continent. We’ve got the Bubo bubo itself, practically owl royalty, the statuesque and stoic Eurasian Eagle Owl!

But big muscles are dirty looks aren’t everything… Not here at Owl of the Year. We’re nerdy for the birdies, so not all of us get to hang at the cool table with EEO and its friends. Some of us prefer the class clown, the one who doesn’t take itself so seriously. It’s friendly, it’s floppy, and it’s maybe just a tiny bit fishy… It’s the Buffy Fish Owl!

Which burb gets your precious upvote today?

      These contests are tight today! Both have been back and forth a number of times.

      For tiebreakers, I usually ask Mrs 6789, but she couldn’t pick her winner for either contest, and I asked my coworker as well and she said they were both too good to decide! It’s gonna be tricky if nobody jumps ahead!
