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?

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

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

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

      He makes me think of an private college professor from a movie, with a dark suit jacket and of course, thick spectacles.

        Not sure if you’re interested, but I like when people tell me things I may not know.

        When to use “a” vs “an”.

        If the proceeding word starts with a vowel sound, then it’s “an”.

        An apple or an orange A private college or a cat.

        Edit: It’s important to note it’s a vowel sound, not a vowel. Just couldn’t think of an example for an.

          I do appreciate any tips given politely like you did!

          My new phone seems to be learning my typing at a glacial pace (I would think it would autocorrect “iwl” to “owl” by now if nothing else! What is an iwl anyway?) so most of it is me missing typos while trying to post between things at work.

          I usually fix them when I see them or one of you pokes fun at me, but I’ll leave this one as an example since it’s one many people get incorrect.

          Thank you for doing this in a constructive way and not the way I see many people respond to grammar mistakes!
