Not pre-flight actually - it is a hunting technique often called cloaking. Thanks, scienceguy. Not pre-flight actually - it is a hunting technique often called cloaking.

It looks as if it was just pre-flight. What a great shot, especially that one. It looks as if it was just pre-flight.

Most of the smoke has let (the fire is 97% contained) but things are still a little ashy. A lot of cars are still covered with a thin layer of ash. How close were you to a fire? By the way, is Mon@rch away ... he has not posted for a while. Thanks, Mary.

What a nice "find" of a bird that does not visit very often. I really enjoyed your videos (as well as your slideshow). I sure hope most or all of the smoke has left your area. It had been smoky at various times around here, too. But with a breeze almost all the smoke has left our area. Very nice, Lynn. What a nice “find” of a bird that does not visit very often.
