"The nictitating membrane may be clear or opaque, but always helps protect the eyes."

Also, I hope to go up and see more eagles and hawks this weekend. Weather looks nice up there (Klamath Falls area). It's usually too snowy/icy for me.

I saw lots of bald eagles on this trip (around 40) but all of them were far away.
