The secret of his eyes
Where habla de los ojos de los birds empieza mentioning the children daytime cuya inmejorable view has given rise to some quantum expressions (eyes of a hawk, eagle eye ...). But the truth is that all of them keep some secrets.
Banding has allowed me to observe quietly and details of these bodies and gradually, giving you realize how important they are to them. Also discover some interesting facts such as the iris of some species will darken with age allowing young adults differ only with his eyes.
Recently I noticed also how the lid of the kingfisher (Alcedo atthis, Kingfisher) is closed horizontally and up front to back instead of vertically as in other birds. I guess it will be so precious To protect the body each time the bird was diving for food.
Other times, noticing my eyes has served simply to enjoy and appreciate a little more for some species. For example, the dove nut (Stretopelia decaocto, Collared dove), a bird very simple in what has plumage is concerned, is one of the prettiest eyes of many species have had in my hands.
And even as the collared dove is the iris which gives the eye color and grace, not always. The so-called eye-rings are also part of some of the most beautiful eyes among Iberian birds. It is for example the case of the warblers (Sylvia sp.) Or of blackbirds (Turdus merula, Blackbird).
