I've settled on a short-eared owl (Asio Flammeus) to serve as the mascot and icon for Owltide. This is not a settled and final decision, but rather a branding that's good enough for now. To create the mascot I sketched some owls that I have saved to /assets/mascot/owl-sketch.png and then selected one I liked. Going clockwise from the top right the sketches were based on the reference photos [1], [2], and [3] found by searching for "owl" on Wikimedia Commons. I then lightly refined it to work as a small icon. To avoid confusing terms that only make sense for software the artworks are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License.
