Neat Photos! Well Done. The second one shows the bird's nictitating membrane partially closed. That is a second eyelid that is clear and provides protection without complete loss of vision. It is perpendicular to the regular eyelid and is something that all birds have.
Thanks, Birdpix! I have several photos of them with the eyelid closed or partially so. I did not know they had two eyelids. Thanks for the info!

Great shots yes, but I have to advise you how wrong it is to feed a wild animal. I work with the Fl fish and Wildlife and trust me this is not a good thing for these birds. When a wild animal is fed it looses any/all fear of humans. This will put the bird in harms way. Please don't feed wild animals.

I've never seen such nice close-ups of the sandhills. You are so lucky to be able to get that close to them.
