WINNER: ELF OWL 47-27

The matchup many of you have been waiting for!

The Elf Owl is a sparrow sized owl of the Southwest US and Mexico and Baja. It loves to live in woodpecker holes in giant desert cacti. It has trademark white eyebrows, sure to get your attention. Don't try to hold it though, when grabbed, it will play dead in an attempt to escape! These tiny owls are bug hunters, and love to eat scorpions, where they remove to stinger before swallowing them. Will this tiny owl be able to take on its challenger today?

The Powerful Owl is the largest of the Australian owls. It dominated the eastern coast forests where it eats a variety of medium sized marsupials like gliders and possums. The Powerful Owl is known for taking prey much larger in relation to its own size than almost any other raptor. It can also catch the largest bat, the Flying Fox. Will this giant defeat the tiny Elf?

I figured so, but I have heard of that theory until recently when one of you all filled me in. I don't do true crime stuff often, so I hadn't heard it before.

It's nice when the neighborhoods rally around the owl. I've read some post where people take it as a badge if honor being swooped by the owl.
