One morning I came across this scene in the wood lot behind where I used to work. 55 macro.

Ah, now this is more like it. I remember a camo feature in BW where the birds were very hard to find. This is the first of the motif photos here (including my own, of course) that has met that standard. Good job.

I'm going to go with 4 too although I see a strange leaf that I think could be a 5th one but the colors are all wrong.

This is such a good camoflage job I only see two, maybe a third, and that's using a lot of imagination to pick them out.

Let's see... Looks like a shorebird species, and they usually have X number of young, so I would say there are X of them.

I agree, this one takes the cake! I count 4 but it took me a while to even find one! Snipe? Great shot!

Great shot. I see 4 for sure and maybe a fifth if I close one eye and squint really hard.

This is impressive camo. It took awhile to find the first one but after that they started popping out. I count 4 total.

Took a long time to find anything! Wonderful job of camo! I'm guessing three and I'm also guessing killdeer. I'm really hoping that you're going to identify the who and the where! :?
