EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this mind-boggling snapshot captured by the talented David Pattyn, we witness an extraordinary game of hide and seek between a Common Potoo and its young juvenile counterpart. Nestled amidst the lush foliage of Mindo cloud forest in Ecuador, these avian experts have truly perfected the art of camouflage. With their intricate feather patterns blending seamlessly into the bark, it takes a keen eye to spot these elusive birds. The adult potoo stands tall on one side of the tree trunk while its adorable offspring perches opposite it. It's as if they're challenging us to find them! The Mindo cloud forest area is renowned for its rich biodiversity, but encountering such a remarkable sight is truly exceptional. These masters of disguise not only keep predators at bay but also leave bird enthusiasts scratching their heads in awe. As we marvel at this image, let us appreciate nature's ingenuity and celebrate the wonders that lie hidden within our world. So next time you venture into Ecuador's enchanting wilderness, keep your eyes peeled for these cunning creatures – just be prepared for an unforgettable game of hide and seek!
