Attack strategies in birds of prey by Brighton, C

“…The deep fovea is optimised for long-range vision, and is directed at approximately 45° to the side of the head. It has been proposed that the head is held in line with the body for streamlining, while the body is turned in flight to fixate the image of the prey on the deep fovea, resulting in a curved trajectory. …”
