Caught in the Act - The Master of Disguise Strikes Again!

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, Glenn Bartley captures the elusive Common Potoo in its natural habitat within the dry forests of Peru. With its cryptic plumage and uncanny ability to blend seamlessly with tree branches, this avian marvel is a true master of disguise. The Common Potoo, scientifically known as Nyctibius griseus, belongs to the unique family Nyctibiidae. Found exclusively in South America, these birds have perfected their camouflage game over centuries of evolution. Their mottled feathers perfectly mimic tree bark patterns, making them virtually invisible to unsuspecting prey and even keen-eyed predators. As we gaze upon this stunning image from Nature in Print, we can't help but be amazed by the bird's wide-eyed stare that seems to say "You can't see me!". Its large yellow eyes are not only striking but also serve a practical purpose – they allow for exceptional night vision during hunting expeditions. Glenn Bartley's skillful photography has immortalized this incredible moment when nature's trickster reveals itself ever so slightly amidst its surroundings. It serves as a reminder that our planet is full of hidden wonders waiting to be discovered if we take a closer look. So next time you find yourself wandering through Peru's dry forests or any other exotic location for that matter, keep your eyes peeled for these masters of deception – the Common Potoos!
