This Great Gray Owl landed on a branch directly above my head and devoured the vole within thirty seconds.
It all happened so quickly, that I barely had time to reset my exposure or reposition myself for proper distance.
The sun was directly behind the owl and its head filled the frame as shot.

Hummingbirds have very large eyes in proportion to their body weight. The eyes are set on the side of the head allowing the hummingbird to see both ahead (binocular vision) and on the side peripherally (monocular vision). The eyes are protected by twelve (12) or more bones surrounding it called ossicles. Hummingbirds have many more rods and cones than humans in their eyes to help them see well. This makes them better able to see colors and ultraviolet light. Hummingbird's eyes will regularly outweigh a hummingbird's brain.
