Stellar’s Jay with bad eye?

Didn’t notice this until I cropped the photo. I think he’s blind in that eye. Am I wrong?

I don't see a bad eye, or anything that suggest it!

Thanks for the link, and the lesson, I really learned a bunch.

I'm not sure, but I think that sharks also have this capacity also.

wow - beautiful capture. I love the color palette.
First of all, a very nice picture. It looks like a reflection in the eye to me, but look at his beak! Looks like it is about done for! I've seen a lot of those Jays, but never saw one with a beak like that!
Maybe the beak and the eye are signs of old age!
