    Chuck-will's Widow

    San Antonio, TX

    D2Xs, 600, ISO 400, f8 @ 1/125.

    Finding this guy with the naked eye is very difficult. I am always so impressed that the bird knows that he blends right in with the habitat. A very cool bird in my book.

    I couldn't see the bird either. A nice departure photographically Alan. I love your perch work, but I like the natural stuff too.

    Lovely shot Alan. You have used DOF well to make the bird as obvious as possible while clearly showing the colour and pattern camouflage.

    Does the term cryptic come to mind here, or what! Great shot.

    Ditto what Doug said, Alan. Camouflage is the subject. The bird looks comfortable in its habitat.
