Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that owls have exceptional night vision?

Yes. A peer-reviewed retinal transcriptome study reports strong positive selection for low-light vision genes in owls contributing to remarkable nocturnal vision, and a reference text describes rod-rich retinas and a tapetum giving owls low-light sensitivity up to 100 times that of humans. Several popular and older sources also describe owls' exceptional night vision.
