I wish the best for this lovely bird... She's lost her depth perception but the eagle's eyesight is incredibly acute.

She'll likely do fine the game authorities should be made aware of her condition if that hasn't been done yet.

Thanks for the post and commend you for your excellent imagery.

Thank you no12mo, I sent photos to the field biologist at the refuge where these were taken last year. I appreciate your interest, she is a beauty.

I posted a set of photos of this beautiful bird last year with no explanation, keeping my thoughts about viability to myself. I spent a lot of time with her (gender guess based on size), she appeared to be in good health and I did not realize her disability until I started working with these photos in PP. I have spoken with two birders in the past month at two Sacramento valley refuges that have seen an Eagle with a damaged right eye....she survived! These were all taken last year, I have high hopes of seeing her again.

Excellent shots. It is probably not an easy life for her, but I'm happy she made it so far.

Glad for the eagle. I don't understand, however, why you did not work on the photos to make her problem a much stronger visual presentation. Better focus and significant use of techniques to bring out her eye (not talking caricature here) might have helped her even more.
