Yes, they can see you moving around!

This is a perfect example of how having clothing that helps blend you into the Sky/Background can help you get a few more strikes. Here is a very low-light condition; the Osprey is way above a school of fish by at least 20 feet, if not more.

Now, look at the water under him as those fish are hitting the eject handle and leaving! With their field of view, they saw that small Osprey from almost straight above, even underwater and in near darkness, so yes, they can see you also!

Do you think they might see you in broad daylight standing up on a Bow Casting Platform, making a lot of movement on a cast like a bird flapping its wings?

Ever wonder why some wading birds are cloud white or sky blue as they slowly wade the waters, grabbing small fish? God's version of camouflage (visual stealth) since the fish look straight up as those colors help the birds fade into the background of the sky. 😉

To you looking straight on, they stand out like a Brahma Bull strolling through downtown Miami, but this is not the design intent of the Master Artist and Engineer. 😉

Now, the full-sized version of the first shot above can be found by clicking Here if you want to order copies for your Home, Office, or even on other items. It is one of my all-time favorite pictures, and when posted, Instagram and others did not do it much justice by cropping it down so much!

And many would be surprised to know what I took these pictures with. It goes to show it's the camera settings and the eye that frames the image that does 85% of the work and not the cost of the camera 😊
