Winner of the 2025 Owl of the Year - Buffy Fish Owl!

After a long and hard battle with the Screech Owl, Buffy managed to just barely hold onto the lead by a plumicorn!

Screech was an outstanding owl to have in the final round, and both likely set OotY voting records.

Both received great public support, and these 2 fabulous birds, along with Snowy and White Faced Owl will be honored throughout the coming year.

This will be brief for now, as I have a busy day today, but I will get to work coming up with our new icons and banners, making our community prize donation, and summing up the tournament.

In the meanwhile, let's hear it for our new winner, and all our great runners up. Also a huge congratulations to all of you for participating and making this event something we look forward to all year. Thank you all so much for building up all the excitement.
