Now I'm looking all over for the exact photos with green eye. I know my cats have either yellow, gold or blue; and rabbits shine quite red. I'm thinking it must have been backyard birds that first got me on the green-eye trail. Probably ordinary house finches or sparrows - not exactly creatures one would expect to have tapetum lucidum. Anyway, forget the green-eye, can't find the pic - but here's a favorite Gold-eye photo of mine: www.photolin.com/misc/precious01a.jpg and a moment later with Blue-eye: www.photolin.com/misc/precious02a.jpg and another shot showing the cumulative effect of too many flash pops ;-) www.photolin.com/misc/precious03a.jpg -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
