Sorry I haven't had time to participate much of late but being owning a retail birding store is quite busy at this time of year! I had this in the file for a while but never posted it and it seems well suited for this weeks motif. I shot this a long time ago with a 300mm hand held while walking along a tidal pool in winter. Thanks for looking.

This is definitely good camo and it took a sharp eye to spot it and take the photo.

Great picture of a normally very hidden bird.

Good motif shot. We have one in our local pond but I have yet to spot him but I can't forget the sound they make.

Cool shot Jim. Love the eyes. A little off the bottom maybe.
