Nictitating membrane

[Sonja Ross <>]

I've just been processing some photos of feeding crakes and many of them have 
the nictitating membrane covering the eye.  This made me wonder, can birds see 
through it, particularly when their head is under the water?

Thanks for any ideas/information about this.
