Eagles have some of nature's sharpest vision

“Eagle eye” is more than just an expression.

If people say you have an “eagle eye,” thank them. They’ve equated your sight to a bird that has some of the best vision found in nature. Bald eagles have several admirable characteristics, but vision definitely ranks in the “most impressive” category.

Thanks to an annual influx of visiting eagles from the north that usually swells the state’s bald eagle numbers to more than 2,000, winter is the best time to see bald eagles in the Ozarks. While you’re watching them, you can be assured they’re seeing you, too.
