Beautiful pics today from India of the Mottled Wood Owl!

They seem to have a call and response between the male and female like the "twit twoo" of the Tawny Owl. I went through a bunch of videos that only had one owl, and it wasn't as exciting as reading about it made it seem. It was a standard North American "hoot" mixed with a bit of Curly from The 3 Stooges.

Finally though, I found this video that has both parts, and now it is appropriately strange enough to mention.

Couldn't agree more!

Stuff like this is why I feel I really have to be dilligent on what is real/real with a decent bit of processing/outright AI images. It just looks so amazing to be real.

The photos look to have the contrast turned up a bit, but a "plainer" photo is still great!
