Eagle Nicitating Membrane


Sturg

Recommended Posts

I was photographing an eagle in Colvill Park Redwing when I noticed it holding its mouth open and I happened to catch it with the third eyelid closed just before it expelled something caught in its throat. The third eyelid is used to clean and protect the eyeball. Kind of a cool sequence on a not often seen behavior.
