As a person who has kestrels visiting me on my window sills en masse every year, I can confidently say they are complete vindictive assholes. The kākāpō deserves to win this one.
The Steller's Jay vs. Great Blue Heron is currently locked at 50% each and I have a hunch that will end up coming down to the final vote. Two outstanding birds face to face!
Oddly enough, I had a friend text from out west yesterday asking me to ID a bird -- "it's got a crest like a cardinal but it's black and maybe kind of blue" was the description. Steller's jay it was. Yeah, this could be a sign, but I remain faithful to my favorite bird and voted heron.
Bushtit vs. penguin was a tossup for me, but channeled my Bloom County obsessed younger self and went with the penguin.
In past years, I have been utterly bewildered by some of the choices y’all made. But this time around, there’s not a bird here that doesn’t deserve the crown

The bottom half of this bracket is a gauntlet compared to the farmers’ league that is the top half. Still, I’ve faith in my beloved emperor penguin to emerge victorious.
The ball of angry fluff that is the Bushtit has my vote. People don't realize how dangerous small balls of fluff that are burds really are.

Loons and kestrels in the other ones.
What is it about you people and those stupid trash ducks?!?!
If Bushtit doesn't at least make it to the Finals I don't know what we're even doing here.
