Frankly, I think Tolkien gave "sharp-eyed" creatures a bum rap. I blame it on that whole 19th Century Man Vs. Nature thing.
And speaking of Nature, let's give it up for The Fox, who commented on how queer it was to see hobbits sleeping out of doors, "but never found out any more about it."
(Sigh), No, I'm not in the Bestiary. Perhaps I'm a land mass?
