Take a bow, you superbest of superb owls!

I love the puffy pants.

This look! So judgy, lol.
This may be my favorite owl face
This owl's expressiveness I feel really helped it. Some owls look goofy, or grumpy, but this guys has a pic of every mood!
He sees the things you do when you think no one is watching! 😅
Santa, is that you?
This Santa leaves pellets instead of coal!
A great ending for another good superb owl season.
So does they get a special Superb Owl ~~Ring~~Band?
Next one I catch gets a snazzy gold plated one! 😁
Sweet :)
I wonder, what stories to birds tell- about being caught, stuffed in a sock, then measured… and given that bit of jewelry before being let go.
Like. How similar would that be to an alien abduction story?
I can guarantee there's never been a better one before this!
Thank you for setting this up. This has been a lot of fun!
It's been a lot of work, but even more fun.
Looking forward to going back to some easier posts, but can't wait to do it again next year!
I'll pull some stats from the tourney and pick out some highlight reel stuff from all the posts of the year too as a year end rewind type thing yet as well.
Yah, you put in a ton of work on this; it's much appreciate!
I'm curious to know if there was a spike in subscriptions during the contest - do you have access to historical subscriber data?
I wish I did. I haven't found any good resource for checking stats like that. I should have just logged them myself.
From just glancing at it when I think of it though, we seem to gain 5-10 a day pretty consistently, which I like. I'd rather a few people trickle in from All, or new Reddit migrants than a big influx after a meme or something and then all the new people never check in again.
I want you guys to have this as something you look forward to every day and where you'll find something at least somewhat consistent. There's still a lot of other doom and gloom that gets posted elsewhere, so I like keeping this as the social media palate cleanser.
If we ever do get historical data, I'd love to see it though and see where the spikes are.
I’m sad Snowy lost, but WFS is truly a superb owl.
Thanks for running this. It was a lot of fun and something to look forward to each day.
Good, I saw your name come up a lot so I could tell you liked it.
I hope you enjoy the normal day to day posts too!
What a superb owl!
The people have spoken, and it is deemed....SUPERB!
I love that this sub is here. Also pics in the comments is exactly what I came here for! 💯
Good, we'll be getting back to much more of that!
Maybe next year, Tawny Owl.... maybe next year 🥲
I was sad it got knocked out so soon too!
I am shocked. But I guess this is what I get for not voting.
I technically didn't vote either, but that's why it's always important to vote whenever you get the chance. We don't always get a say in things, so when the opportunity arises, you should always make your voice heard!
Yeah. My normal instance was down for awhile.
Oh no! I'll add a vote for Snowy if you want me to.
That is a superbly owly-looking owl. Well deserved win!
Yes, indeed! Every owl earned their place.
I'm glad WFS won! I was rooting for it, but was worried the popularity of Snowy would win out. This little mustachioed owl was too cool not to win!
I expected Snowy to win or for it to be a much closer race. Snowy still did very well, but it was another big surprise for me.
I'm curious hoo will be popular next year!
That really is a superb owl!
When the b-owl-ots were totaled, there was no question!
They look both menacing and surprised depending on the angle!
Superbowl
For owls that are superb.
