Taking snapshots of birds is tricky business. I saw this bird and it remained visible for mere seconds. I only had time to take a quick snapshot. It's perching on the trunk.

oh wao, if you hadn't mentioned I would have seen it, I was straining my eyes so hard before I saw it...
It was hard to detect. The feathers provide great camouflage, blending nicely with the foliage.
Timing with hit and miss @featheredfriends
I just got a monocular that I can attach to a phone for close up shots, so I was testing how long it took me to set it up upon first sighting a bird. Not even close. The bird was gone by the time I opened my bag. :D
Better luck next time, be prepared!
Slightest movement they off like the wind!
I can't wait for warmer weather in the spring, so I can properly go out and photograph them.
At 37 deg C today most birds are in hiding from the heat! Shoulder seasons are best for bird photography.
By the time you realize they will fly away. This is a good shot. I like how the different colors of the plants ,make the picture cool
They are swift little guys. It was a pair of them flying around quickly from tree to tree.
Oh that makes the shot even a lot better.
there's just something about bird that's so incredible, how small and cute the look, and they are super smart it's not easy to take a picture of a bird unless they don't notice your present.
I think this species is called northern flicker. A pair of them flew rapidly across the path I was on and went into the forest. They jumped from branch to branch making a call. So quick!
i think I know a bird like that too over here in Africa, they jump so fast that you can't get hold of them, you were lucky to have gotten a picture while it didn't notice. Plus can I say I love how the forest over there looks. It's so green
The forest is supposed to be greener but it was a dry summer. Lots of rain recently though. I hope you can capture a photo of the bird one day :)
Really incredible how quick many animals can be a times!
Especially when you're trying to take a picture of them :)
Rate of their awareness is incredible lol
They move quickly through the forest. It was a pair of them flying around.
