Snowy & barn still on course for a quarter final clash! I missed their rounds so must check in better. It's an interesting side, if either get through to the semi there's some real challengers there for the final spot still.

I'm not so familiar with the l/h side species but burrowing vs great horned is an interesting clash.

We've got a lot of great owls left. The matchmaking this year went a lot better than last year's inaugural run.

I have a feeling how most of the rest of the matches will go, but it all depends on which of you show up in what days to vote. They're all close enough it's anyone's chance still.

GHO vs Burrow I'm hoping will be really good. We haven't had and real back and forth exchanges like last year yet, but as we get closer to the end and the decisions get harder, I hope we get some.

Learning new owls is one of the special parts, so I'm curious to hear which are the best surprises for you.

I'll be looking out for the Buffy vs Saw Wet round in particular to learn a bit more. The latter had a lot of support last year and this year too so interested to see why.

All rounds are a hard choice given how superbowls are! (Dadum-tish)

I thought the barn owl may have won by more in the last round, just goes to show difficult the competition is!

Buffy and Saw Whet are both really great. I won't spoil anything for you.

This year some of the bigger surprises have been which owls aren't getting votes. There's been a few not doing as well as I would have predicted. But I never know who is voting on what days so it's hard to pin down a rhyme or reason.

I'm glad you're enjoying the games though, I know I like doing them!
