The binocularity allows them to gauge not only the direction of the prey, but its distance — so important for an accurate strike.

One thing I’ve never seen discussed, but it would surprise me if this type of fishing bird did not have some degree of light polarization in its vision, so that they can better see prey below the water’s surface.
