The third week of January was rather modest when it came to photography news (unlike the news from the outside world). In keeping with that, I chose a similarly understated opening image for today’s article. At first glance, there appears to be nothing particularly interesting in this photo. I found it while going through my photos from Ecuador to update our article Best Nikon Lenses for Wildlife Photography… and looking at the thumbnail, I found myself wondering whether I had accidentally pressed the shutter. Yet, this seemingly empty image does contain a living creature—one perfectly adapted, through its cryptic coloration, to an environment full of sharp beaks, curved talons, and pointed teeth. Can you spot it?
