MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: ROUND ONE: BARRED OWL vs. EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL

IN THE BLUE CORNER, we have the ruler of the night, the fierce and intimidating barred owl!

this humongous heavyweight has a wingspan of up to 125 cm/49 in, making it one of the larger members of the owl family. it distinguishes itself from other owls with its powerful call, which can be heard up to half a mile away. most people can recognize this call - a series of 8 hoots - with the mnemonic "who cooks for you, who cooks for you all." these hoots have even earned it a more colloquial name - the old eight-hooter. with razor-sharp talons and eyesight that could spot a mouse from a mile away, this predator is a force to be reckoned with!

IN THE RED CORNER, we have the master of the night, the most nefarious nightjar, the eastern whip-poor-will!

much like a pokemon, the whip-poor-will is a bird that sings its own name, a call that will send shivers down the spine of anyone who hears. its call has been immortalized in literature for hundreds of years, being described by writers such as robert frost, emily dickinson, washington irving, and elton john. this is a creature that has honed its skills in the art of stealth, so beware, competitors - the whip-poor-will is not to be underestimated.

OCtober2024 Day 2: New OC

Meet Whippoorwill "Whip" Aythers. He just popped into being a couple days ago. He has a son that is there too but he's not been vocal enough for me to draw him yet. Whip is so new that he doesn't have clothes yet lol. Whip is 52 years old and is an adventurous type. He's done a lot of traveling and exploring in the past. He can fight and favors, what else, a whip as his main weapon. Though he's pretty well versed in most weapons.

OwO What's dis? Don't mind me I'm just cookin.

I never really talked about my Dimensionals but they're the beings that go around the dimensions to make sure everything is up to snuff in the realms. Well at the moment in the story there's only Null and Void that are around and spoiler that's all I'm gonna say lol. So Whippoorwill, this guy, is hiding out in Purgatory after being injured in the void of dimensions and acts as the local healer. His power is he can mess with memories and tap into people's memories and help them with trauma and such, for example. Or help them remember things that are lost to time.

Sadly he cannot fix his own trauma 😔

Battle Royale

haven't I seen you here before? (B-1)

For birds who have been in polls before on tumblr. Some were high-profile, some were low-profile, but they came up in the search results regardless.

MBS Humans as BIRDS Because I have been thinking about this for a bit and you can't stop me

Also, normally I would be factoring in sexual dimorphism for accuracy, but not today. We're not even worrying about size or anything today. Today it's all about aesthetics :)

Hear That Whippoorwill COMING SOON

Going back to the mountains.  You didn’t even realize you had ever been there.  But when your last relative in those mountains dies, you were left with everything, including all the family secrets.  Now there was too many rules; stay out of the woods, that bridge is dangerous, black cats are bad luck, don’t listen to the whippoorwill, girl.  Too late.  And now Steve has finally found you.  He won’t stop trying to get you, until the curse is finally broke, and now you’re here....
