That is one lucky owl and glad he was not harmed in this freaky accident. Speaking of owls: here are pictures of owls in camoflage. Really had to look hard to find some of them: http://www.boredpanda.com/owl-camouflage/ |

They are amazing photos, with quite a range of different backgrounds too. You may have seen Sirocco the very rare flightless kakapo, the biggest of the parrot species on a BBC nature programme with Stephen Fry? .... their strategy to avoid danger is to stay dead still, and with their green flecked plumage they are nearly invisible in the bush. Unfortunately they have a delightful musky scent which really makes them a target for any introduced predator. The Maude Island frogs shown in the blog are also camouflage masters too .... different shades of brown enable them to be invisible in the leaf litter. (they don't have a tadpole stage either) Source link |

Dana, such a relief to know the owl was rescued and was ok. Erka, aren't those owls clever. So wonderfully blended into their background. They are Masters of Disguise. Thanks for the PM |
