A Red Tailed Hawk keeps close watch with its one good eye. I have seen this young one multiple times in the same area of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge in recent weeks. Oftentimes it has the one eye closed and its eyelid doesn’t look quite right. When it does open its ‘bad’ eye, it looks almost cross-eyed. Thankfully whatever it may have wrong with it doesn’t seem to impact it otherwise as it flies perfectly fine and runs away from me just like any otherraptor. 😉
