They came out pretty much exactly like my mock ups!

Here is the proof that OotY is a real world contest. 😁

Who do we want to see take the title this year?

    Very cool! Are these at the rescue you volunteer at?

    This year I would like to see Snowy or Barn Owl win.

      Yes, I just happened to check the board today and spotted the 2024 one, and then I saw the 2023 one a few spots down.

      Barny doesn’t get enough love if it’s not in golden hour shots here, but I am a bit shocked Snowy hasn’t won yet. One of these little fluff balls keeps sneaking in to win at the last moment! 😁

        Maybe if there were different divisions, like big/small or northern/southern hemisphere, that might give different ones more of a chance. And the winners of each division face off for owl of the year. I’m partial to big and majestic myself, or unique, but small and fluffy is always popular.

          Maybe I will try this for the qualifier to fill in the newcomers. I will see what I can come up with!

      It is a good one! The only other owl ones left are the adult and baby GHO ones.

      It says they added a frog, mouse, and nuthatch as well.
