This owl looks like it has opinions.

The owl form of "I want to speak to a manager, now!"

Yo I think someone drew dark lines on a clay statue 🤪
I legit never knew there were so many weirdly cute and cutely weird species of owl in the world 😂

It is truly amazing just how many owls there are! They don't all look totally different, but with there being around 250, there's got to be a bunch anyone would find amazing. 🥰

You know my favorite is the NWFS, but I will say, no other owl seems to have the expressiveness of the BFO. Such attitude!

Top tier owls for sure! Right up there with Snowies and Burrowing Owls. They've really become one of my favorite groups of owls.

Because of the attitude?
I admit I have a soft spot for the little guys; the Saw Whet is local, too, and it gives WFS a run for the money.
Burrowing can be pretty funny with their behavior; I can see why you'd like them.
Snowy, though - that has to be pure cosmetic, like why I love NWFS. Although, I do think the Northern WFS has a gorgeous call.

Just the range of "expressions" they can make.
Saw Whet is another good one, and of course the WFS!
The only Burrowing Owl I got to see was in a bad mood, I think I startled it, but they sure do give a vicious angry face.
I used to think the Snowy was largely internet hype, but I met one this year, and that guy was about the most charming semi-wild animal I ever saw! So handsome, so much character. It's hyped, but the hype is real! I don't think it'd be my number 1 were I forced to choose, but it should be in everyone's top 5 somewhere.
