Owl of the Year Match 10 - White Faced Scops Owl vs Spectacled Owl

WINNER: WHITE FACED SCOPS OWL 72-25

Another popular owl today, the White Faced Scops Owl has been known as the transforming owl. It has its regular face, it's puffed up defensive face, and it's Slenderman/Dracula face. This owl is found in Africa between the Sahara and the equator. It's cute, it's versatile, it's a tough owl to beat.

Living just outside the Great Horned Owl's range, the Spectacled Owl is able to dominate the rainforests from Southern Mexico to Argentina. It strikes quickly from a patched position to take out a wide range of rodents. Birds such as pigeons are also a regular target. This owl is antisocial and does not get along with other owls, or even other Spectacled Owls except during breeding season. Will this solitary hunter be score to conquer the Scops Owl?

  • Spectacled Owl

    • The Afro would have probably be a challenger to the mustache but the other one is a peacock-owl !

      • With these two, one could make a owl book for a hairdresser.

        • Lol, they are totally gifted in regard to having suberb follicles! They're keeping those 70s styles alive!

      • Peacock owl is a great photo. I just had to sneak in an extra photo for each to get all the shape shifting in.
