Let me start with my apologies, I stayed up too late trying to prep these posts and accidentally posted Screech vs Scops too soon. I'll leave that open the full 24 hours from now as I intended, so if you've already been to that post, just head back over there after this and you can upvote your choice now.

WINNER: Long Eared 32-30 - Owl of the Year Round 3 - Elf vs Long Eared

c/superbowlby

anon6789@lemmy.world 2 days ago

The world's smallest owl, the Elf Owl is tiny in stature, but no less a raptor than any of its bigger relatives. It lives in the North American Southwest and Mexico, calling hollowed out cacti their home. This vicious beast loves to snack on scorpions, roofing aside the stingers and chowing down. They aren't much of a fighter, and will play dead to fake out any larger predator. Can this little darling show good things come in small packages?

Bat Fact: Most bats are nocturnal hunters

c/batsby

ickplant@lemmy.world 2 days ago

I should say that some bats are not nocturnal (out of more than 1,400 species, about 10 are diurnal, and they tend to be fruit bats).

A burrowing owl for anon6789

c/superbowlby Foreigner@lemmy.world 4 days ago

@anon6798@lemmy.world is singlehandedly keeping this place alive so I thought I'd also participate and share a photo I took last month. This is a burrowing owl I photographed on the grounds of a hotel in Brasilia. A couple of these guys made their burrow in a little hole hill at the bottom of the garden and were seemingly unbothered by hotel guests that were walking past. I have a couple of other shots but this is my favourite. Thanks for all your superb owl posts anon6789!
