Normal/Strangeness down at the pond . . .
While wandering around the pond the other day I took some close ups of a Night Heron.
First three are normal head shots of the immature Night Heron. The last one shows a normal eye and the other, well..... a double eyeball. ??? HELP ME.... I'm baffled by this!
I asked some of my birder photographer friends and got these replies:
I believe it’s the reflection of the surface of the eye in the clear lens covering the eye.
I'm thinking, it's the lens over the eye of the bird.
Probably the angle as they have a protective lens that comes over the main eye.
I think it's a trick of the light.
