I am a big believer in shooting with both eyes open ... for a couple of reasons
1) Allows me to look thru my subject and see anything that I may not want in the photo (i.e. a house, power pole, etc.)
2) I have caught so many birds and other critters out of the corner of my eye that I might not have seen and otherwise photographed ... because I kept both eyes open
Anyone else have any thoughts?

As a youth hunter growing up in hilly PA farm country in the 60s, I was taught to keep both eyes open for safety reasons and accuracy. That technique became ingrained and has become a normal transfer to my "new" first love... photography. So, both reasons above are the same for me.
On occasion I have tried to close the other eye while "working" via the viewfinder, but ended up with a "blurry eye" after concentrating for any amount of time when the action was hot, particularly BIF and butterfly photography.
