Hello birders,

Looking through our photos, I found one with interesting contrast between the birds' eye colors.

See the second photo for Chough at this checklist:

Two birds there, I assume immatures, appear to have dark eyes. The one facing the camera seems to have white eyes, not red. Is that unusual?

I have read that Choughs' eyes can engorge with blood during displays and interactions. Perhaps this individual is exceptionally serene?

Thanks for any thoughts you may have --

good birding,

Steve Johnson

returned now to the United States, no longer seeing all those wonderful birds Down Under
