It's amazing the degree to which deer can disappear,
just by settling down in the grass.

Wiki's post on camouflage has some cool photos,
if you want to explore the subject a bit more.

I thought I saw the rack and nose of a buck sticking out of a grassy bowl yesterday but I was too excited at the huge alligator lizard I was watching to pull out my binocs. Then as I was creeping up on the lizard, I heard a huge crashing sound in the nearby forest and thought, yep, buck in the rut, that's here-now. No camouflaging that racket. I wonder what the lizard was thinking, maybe just "give me a few more weeks of sun."
ReplyDeleteit's kinda fun to see where they've been...when we wander out back, we can see obvious trails through the underbrush...and in the hay-like fields...the patches of grass flattened out from the deer resting or bedding down.
ReplyDeletethey sure can camo GOOD. especially when they're standing 'oh so still'...
