Superb Owl Sunday is swooping in to save your weekend!

We know that the news has been depressing recently. It's been causing a lot of unpleasant feelings.

Thank goodness we have a bright spot on the horizon this weekend, an event that will be bound to lift our spirits and perhaps make us momentarily forget the current state of America.

Enter Superb Owl Sunday, the greatest celebration of the most magnificent of birds!

Oh wait, you thought we were going to talk about the Super Bowl? Yeah, we're not going to do that here. We'd much prefer to discuss the bounty of Superb Owls there are in the world.

It's the bird that gave us Hedwig, Tootsie Pop's Mr. Know it All and the Pokemon Rowlet. It's the bird who stands as a role model for our youth with its reputation for wisdom and looking adorable in graduation caps.

Given all this, why would we not take the time every year to honor the owl?

Well, we will and we are. Right here. Right now. We present to you some of the great owls of our time, so great in fact that you might say they were superb.

Superb Owl Sunday.
