American Tree Sparrow prefers to use left eye to look for predators

Ottawa, Ontario. Canada.

"A study found that the American Tree Sparrow seems to prefer to look for predators out of its left eye. This preference may be because the right hemisphere of the brain is dominant for processing visual information. Oddly, the Dark-eyed Juncos examined in the same study preferred to look out of their right eyes." -- Cornell Birds
