Stereopsis in the falcon

R Fox, SW Lehmkuhle, and RC Bush

Stereoscopic depth perception is demonstrated in the falcon, a non-mammalian with binocular vision. This result complements recent physiological evidence for binocular interaction in the bird visual system, and suggests that stereopsis may be a general attribute of vertebrate vision and not an exclusive product of mammalian evolution.
