You can see from the photo at the wildlife park, how easily they fit in with tree bark.<br /><br />I like the way vultures can be used to test gas leaks in your area. What an economical and reliable method.<br /><br />Yes, once you start looking out for little secrets like that, you just want to keep going.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131907587674600113.post-33272388983638595222013-10-24T13:35:33.783+11:002013-10-24T13:35:33.783+11:00I wish more people thought like you, my friend. I ...I wish more people thought like you, my friend. I spend a lot of time feeding and photographing birds and other wildlife. They always manage to do something that surprises me. <br /><br />The frogmouth was probably hoping that if he stayed very still, you would think it was a piece of wood. There are owls here that do the same. Keep your eyes peeled. Maybe some day you will spot another. That is one of the things wildlife has taught me. You have to be aware of your world to notice its little secrets. :o)<br /><br />Vultures are neat. We see turkey vultures around here all the time. When the gas company lays new pipes, they pump an odor into their pipelines that smells like rotting meat. If vultures gather over a section of pipe, they know there is a leak there. Vultures are one of the only (the only?) birds with a sense of smell, so they are always used to test gas lines. <br /><br />Peace and Laughter!<br /><br />jugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.com
