That's some incredible camo, isn't it? Great job, sir!

 

[zombiesniper]

Thank you.

Yes their camo is quite good. This one we drove first southbound and saw nothing. It wasn't until going back north that we managed to see it.

If it doesn't screech like my X I like it.

Beautiful shot, it seems so peaceful.

That is one very content looking bird.

Great job on a difficult subject. Their camouflage is part of their survival - they don't want to be seen, and sure wouldn't consent to a photo op. The fact that he is so relaxed, even sleepy-looking, lets the viewer know the photographer knows what he's doing. I love the catch light, too!

 

[zombiesniper]

Thank you.

Very nice shot. I'm still waiting to find mine. I've heard one!

 

[zombiesniper]

Thank you.

Persistence. It'll happen.
