Nightjar, Caprimulgus europaeus
It has to be one of my favourite birds. They arrive quite late in May and I then spend hours in the twilight and dark watching and listening to them. I follow this in the daylight to try and get some shots. The first two here are a cock bird resting on a log, the other three are a hen sitting on eggs.

Here is another member of the same family, a Common Pootoo. This bird also hides in plain sight, sitting on top of broken branches and even fence posts. It lives in Central and South America and is relatively common, although seldom seen. This bird took on almost mystical qualities to me-I looked at a thousand fence posts and stumps looking for one before I finally saw and photographed the species. Look at this picture closely-there are two birds in it. The female is sitting atop its almost fledged chick.

A little different approach to camo. This is a Pinnated Bittern, a fairly large bird that not only looks like its environment, but assumes a posture that helps it blend in with the reeds in the background. This bird was seen in Costa Rica from a boat and stood in its upright position for more than 5 minutes during its photo shoot. Talk about confidence in your abilty to blend in.
