From Terry Martin
This is a pair of rare Burrowing Owls that had just clasped talons in a kind of handshake. One of them was trying to shake free, but the other would not let go. They had been looking at each other, and then, for one extraordinary moment, they both looked right at me. Voila! The photo was taken in the Amazon in Mato Grosso, Brazil.
That’s not a handshake, that is a nudge that says “you go right, I go left - let’s pull a pincer maneuver on this weirdo”.
The lower guy does seem to be up to no good from that look on his face… 🤔
Right Owl: “Don’t move, their vision is motion based”
Vision wise, we must look like Mr. Magoo to owls. Even their ears see a bajillion times better than our eyes. Especially my eyes… 😝
