Description
Eagles have eyelids that close during sleep. For blinking, they also have an inner eyelid called a nictitating membrane. Every three or four seconds, the nictitating membrane slides across the eye from front to back, wiping dirt and dust from the cornea. ... Eagles, like all birds, have color vision.
I was lucky enough to catch this juvenile bald eagle when his inner eyelid quickly closed!
