Mockingbird carrying on making an unusual sound and couldn't figure it out until I saw this movement at the water feature. Not sure how it ended up on the ground and sure don't know how it got back in the nest but it did. The mockingbird settled back down after that.

Thank you for informing me of the correct term.

Was recently doing some reading on eagles and came across this. Apparently they can do this one eye at a time as well.
