“Compared with mammals, birds have relatively large eyes. In simple terms, a bigger eye means better vision, and excellent vision is essential for avoiding collisions in flight, or for capturing fast-moving or camouflaged prey. Birds' eyes, however, are deceptive - they are bigger than they look.”

Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the red-eyed sandhill crane. Each year they migrate down here for the winter in great numbers. For that reason, they appear way too often in my project.
