Give Me The Eagle Eye — I Want It!

The large birds of prey

are a joy to watch

soaring above

with their high density

pixel eyes

focused on small prey

a hundred meters below.

Only if I had eagle eyes,

trading my 20/20 eyes

for 20/5 vision

each placed on the

side of my head

 with a 340-degree visual field  —

imagine the cool look!

Here’s a video of an eagle eye view of the world.

When in the Puerto Peñasco, Sonora area last week we visited a small bay/marshland about twenty-five miles east and only a couple of miles from where we were staying. This area has been set aside as a nature preserve and is a nesting area for the Osprey (Fish Eagle). On our visit we were able to see one, not just printed on a sign, as you can see, this guy was perched on the sign — “Showtime!”
