Following the GHO vs Flammy yesterday was intense! It went to bed late when it was tied again, and when I woke up it was still tied. I've been trying out new apps yesterday, so I saw someone gave GHO a downvote. I decided since Flammy had survived against such a popular owl for so long, it deserves to move on. It was a really tough decision, I wanted and expected GHO to win, but with the passionate following Flammy generated and a big part of this tourney being to showcase lesser known owls, I felt it the right decision. GHO will no doubt have another good showing next year.
Burrowing Owl has a very one sided match against Chaco, but a few of you supported him. The Chaco is a cool owl I've been lucky enough to see in person, and I feel the real thing exceeds what photos can capture, so he's still a winner to me.
With the lineup set for round 2, what matches are you looking forward to or dreading to have to pick one over the other?
Has your favorite for overall winner changed due to how things have ended in round 1?

I'm shocked about GHO, but even checking it now, flammy is up by one vote, even without the downvote. So flammy is the undisputed winner imo.
I really hope we can get more support for the Snowy Owl this round. It didn't win by that much in the first round, but it's not only my favorite owl, but my favorite bird, and probably in my top 5 favorite animals.
I mean, who else can simultaneously exude such magesty and derpiness.
I feel Snowy should do well this round. They're a rare combo of big and silly. I really want to see one in the wild.
