birdseye

View from above

Birdseye typically appears as two words or hyphenated: bird's-eye.

A bird's-eye view is the perspective from above, as if seen by a flying bird—used literally for aerial photographs or figuratively for broad overviews: Let me give you a bird's-eye view of the project.

Bird's-eye is also a maple wood pattern featuring small circular figures resembling eyes, prized in furniture making.
