A
sight

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They have binocular vision, meaning both their eyes work together to help them see prey from so far away. Their eyes also allow them to focus quickly as they dive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eagles – Best Eyes in the Animal Kingdom To put that into perspective, an eagle has the visual acuity of 20/5 – meaning that it can see at 20 feet what a human with 20/20 vision would need to be 5 feet away from to see. By this standard, an eagle’s visual acuity is 4 times stronger than ours.

Detailed explanation-3: -Their sense of hearing is excellent, and their eyesight the best in the entire animal world. Not only can hawks see greater distances than humans, but their visual acuity (the ability to see clearly) is eight times that of ours. Hawks also see in color.

Detailed explanation-4: -A recent study at Lund University in Sweden showed that Harris’s hawk has the best colour vision out of all the animals investigated till date. The surprising fact is that sometimes, in some cases, their vision is better than the humans.
