I would've kept the great horned owl personally. It probably wouldn't have gone down until late round 2 or early round 1 at best, but just my thoughts. I don't think it was necessarily wrong to ditch it either.
@@Wingsplain with the cherry and wheat needed for wood duck, you had space for one extra card if you wanted. Wood duck would be looking for a card like great horned owl anyway cause it generates so many points
I would have kept the owl along with the wood duck and the willie-wagtail. Played the wood duck, taken food, laid eggs, played the wagtail in the forest, taken food, taken food, played the owl. Willie-wagtail resets the tray on each activation, and unlike the usual situation where it flips up Rule 16 non-cup-nesters for my opponent, I can scoop those up with the wood duck. Egg access is the one limitation here, but seeing so many cards there’s a decent chance I’ll turn up a forest egg layer, and if not I can be playing big point/good brown power birds in the grassland so a single turn now and then laying eggs will keep me in business.

Do you mean the Hornbill? I don't think the Owl showed itself this game.
@@Wingsplain in your opening hand, there was a great horned owl
@KnackNester Yeah that might have been pretty good in hindsight since I didn't really draw anything good all game.
