It’s not that difficult but how awesome is the camouflage?! This was a sighting we had at #reifelbirdsanctuary in Delta on what turned out to be a very wet day!

Scottie, wearing a purple cap, glasses, a green and black jacket, blue jeans, and black boots. He has binoculars around his neck. He is on a gravel path surrounded by a bunch of curious Mallard ducks and two sandhill cranes.The cranes are about half of Scottie's height... very big birds. One of them is eating out of Scottie's hand which is making Scottie smile so big. He looks extremely happy.
Have you ever seen someone so happy? Birds 🤍 Discovered bidding not long ago, now it's very much my happy place. 😊

Closeup of a Sandhill Crane in the shade, twisting its neck to preen around its side. We see one eye wide open, a bright yellow
Sandhill Cranes at Reifel are very used to people. This one let me get quite close as it quietly got on with a bit of preening. I love the sinuous composition of its neck and beak -- July 22, 2022

This is a sweat bee. They're a very diverse family with various colours, environments and degrees of eusociality. And often attracted to sweat, hence their name -- Reifel Bird Sanctuary, May 2

A Marsh Wren is hanging on to a cattail. There are several other cattail and green reeds around. Its tail is super perky
The Marsh Wrens were as loud as ever, but a good number of them deigned to show themselves to my camera! -- Reifel Bird Sanctuary, May 2

Now where were we? Oh yeah. The important thing was that I had some elm seeds on my bill, which was the style at the time." -- Reifel Bird Sanctuary, May 2
