I found what I think is it but I cannot be sure as it is small and to be honest it looks, well, dead. (It is entirely possible I am looking at the wrong thing.)
The only reason I could see @shreedave’s (and with ease!) is because @austin_ajit put us through such a good training for a similar looking friend earlier in the thread.
For me @shreedave‘s grasshopper stood out immediately, but I STILL can’t find the rabbit lol
hint: look along the close bush line between the small light green bush and the blue green bush that sticks out just before the opening
Thank you! As I suspected, I was looking at the wrong thing, just detritus. It’s very well hidden but also this is the largest background of any of the photos, so it seems hard to compare. (I feel fairly certain I would not see most of these on backgrounds that vast.)
This is not much of camouflage because it constantly moves and the water just dulls everything but here it is…
Sadly, I have edited my photos to show the foreground best, so I don’t have any big background pictures.
@shreedave here is another bird for you. I think I have one other in the topic. I think I can probably find more. Stay tuned. Nope that is not a clump of dirt.
Great shot! I have a couple of nightjars here but I have only heard them, never seen them. And they are the best camouflage birds out there!
About time I included some of my faves, beyond the spider I posted above.
This one is easy on a sheet, but I feel its a very missable twig elsewise.
Tamopis sp. Two-tailed spider guarding egg sac
Thank you! I cannot take credit for finding this bird only having lucky timing in running into the person who saw it land, knew where it was after going to look for it and then showed me and the two other people I was with. This is the only Common Poorwill I have seen. I have seen Common Nighthawks a number of times though and have many photos of them. Some I found others were pointed out to me. Yes, the Nightjars have great camo but every now and then they choose not to use it. Like this Common Nighthawk:
