Super Secret Undercover Bird

[bunn]

I think it is a woodcock.

It looked very outraged that I had spotted it.  I took this photo,  confirming its suspicion that I really was looking at it, and it flew off in disgust before I could get closer. Brythen didn't see it at all until it flew, and made a huge surprised bounce when it took wing.

I thought I saw it...and then I got to the third shot and realized that the thing I thought was a bird was actually a gray leaf, and the bird was off to its right. Impressive camouflage!
