sportsball bullshit if it's superb owl then how did seahawks (which are actually ospreys!!) win? like jesus owls have some pride in yourself

My favorite bird award is definitely the Duck Stamps but at the same time I'm heavily opposed to what the judges choose to disqualify and what they allow to be left in.

The fact that the same (albeit talented) family has won like 10 times is ridiculous to me. The lore around "popular" duck breeds is wild.

Ah yes, among the most popular north american ducks this year is...

Goose...

I like how these birds are talking about themselves as birds and not individuals lol.

Like if we were to say human of the year instead of person of the year.
