And just to refresh everyone’s memories, here’s my image of the Crested Lark camouflaged on the ground:

This was taken from about 20 yards away…. a hawk or an eagle would spot this lark from several hundred feet overhead…!

In Nature, the prey plays “hide” and the predators play “seek”….but it’s a deadly, serious process that’s not a game at all…
