Keen Mercies

Keep your eyes open to your mercies. The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life.

Robert Louis Stevenson

The Birdfact site has a neat article about birds “Eyes and Vision ”. The introduction sums up the article of quick facts pretty well: “Birds have color vision, but unlike us, they can see in ultraviolet, which opens up a whole world of colors that we’ll never know. They also have impressive distance vision, the ability to adjust for light refraction through water, and incredibly wide fields of view.” Neat!
