Sorry i should have mentioned that i observed the bird for 10-15 minutes and the eye looked like this the whole time.

You are correct that the camera can catch the nictitating membrane and i have photos that have done so but i can see the pupil under the membrane in other photos.

This is a comment, not a diagnosis. Well that depends a bit of the speed of the photo. The most likely is it is caught blinking, i.e. moving the nictitating membrane over the eye. That is usually fairly quick but a camera could easily catch that. If that is what it is and looks like to me then it is nothing odd.

Went to see the Jerra Little Eagle today and it seems his right eye has a problem, thoughts?
