Ruddy Turnstone

We took a walk along the ocean when we were in Cape Cod. This fellow was almost impossible to see when he stepped on the stones. He gets his name from the habit of turning over the stones in search of food and the rusty color of his wings.

What a beautiful bird and fascinating markings. If you weren't such a great photographer he would have blended right in

[LManning (Laura)]

That’s pretty impressive camouflage. Well spotted!

[Kathy A]

He certainly blends in very well

[Diana]

Well spotted and captured, he sure is well camouflaged.

Nice detail

Another bird camouflaged on the stony shore.

Thank you Katy, Laura, Kathy, Diana, Harry, and Kathy! I was surprised the point and shoot was clear enough so that I was able to crop in and make him more prominent. If you saw the original and how far away he really was that camouflage makes it even more difficult to see him.

A great find and capture.
