    He sure does blend in! I'm amazed you could get such a good shot of him at all! they are so fast. You caught him at a restful moment.

    I managed to spot him too Glenda. They certainly know how to keep themselves well hidden. :-D

    I found him, but he was kinda hard to find because his eye looks like one of the light holes in the tree. :D
