Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Just wanted to say hello from [email protected] and to let you know we're holding an Owl of the Year tournament just for fun.

Every day I try to post an owl or 2, from common ones to ones where there may only be a few dozen in the whole world. I've also featured rescues around the US and a few other countries. I just try to give everyone something positive to look forward to each day, so come check us out if you haven't already.

Today's matches are the Barn Owl vs Bare Legged Owl and the Eastern Screech vs Crested Owl.

Here's the full bracket:

Long live Long Legged Owl

They've all got long legs, they have an extra leg bone we don't have! (Tarsus)

Edit: I see my mistake now! Fixed!
