Re: [nysbirds-l] Caracara's left eye
I have uploaded two pictures of the Crested Caracara to my Flickr page. You can see the differences between the right and the left (damaged) eye.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Caracara's left eye
He eye socket is indeed empty. Herb Houghton from NJ showed my a picture today where the empty socket was evident. Herb also states that he took a photo of the bird head on that shows the convex shape of the birds right eye and a concave area where the left eye should be. He has a photo web site and can be reached through it. Googling his name will get you there.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Caracara's left eye
Felipe, if you have a link for these photos outside of Facebook, perhaps you
may considering sharing.
There are many list serve subscribers who are not on Facebook and probably
don't know the reference to NY Birders.

It is clear the bird that was in the Princeton, NJ area in Sep 2012 had an intact left eye and I learned at the weekend that there are details to connect the NJ and ME birds. Can anyone comment? Interesting stuff! How many birds have wandering around the northeast coastal states in the past 4-5 years?

Re: [nysbirds-l] Caracara's left eye
He eye socket is indeed empty. Herb Houghton from NJ showed my a picture today where the empty socket was evident. Herb also states that he took a photo of the bird head on that shows the convex shape of the birds right eye and a concave area where the left eye should be. He has a photo web site and can be reached through it. Googling his name will get you there.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Caracara's left eye
I have uploaded two pictures of the Crested Caracara to my Flickr page. You can see the differences between the right and the left (damaged) eye.
