There was a lot in that article. Don't share it too much or you could put me out of a job! It has most of the stuff I've covered in the last year here! ๐
It was interesting they listed owls as having anisodactyl feet (3 front toes, 1 rear toe) as I always see them listed as zygodactyl (2 + 2). Searching showed a few others listing owls as anisodactyl, but the majority seems to refer to them as zygodactyl. I feel in pics, zygodactyl seems to be much more common when they sit, plus it's always zygodactyl when they're grabbing prey.
