well...i was sitting here next to jambaloney and said "babe - can you see something here in this pic?" - he laughed and said that he had just left a comment. so when i say i think it is a snowy egret - i am cheating and he even had to show me where it was!!!
Did you notice the reflection in the water? Even though it's hard to see standing still, it's reflection in the water is a dead give-a-way. It only takes a small amount of reflected light to reveal your presence.
The smaller an object is also means it is less likely to be noticed. If you present a smaller profile than normal, it will be more difficult to be detected.
An expedient oxygen absorber for a 5 gallon storage container can be made by placing a golf ball size piece of steel wool and a tablespoon of salt inside a paper napkin and placing it in the container. The salt will absorb the residual moisture and the steel wool will naturally absorb the oxygen.
Preppin' Tips - Recipes
Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)
To one quart of water add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.

Unless you shrunk yourself to 'G.I. Joe' size and are standing on the dam, you iz invisible to me. :^)
Great point though, although camoflauge helps, standing motionless often does render that object very hard to detect.
is that a snowy egret? can't tell for sure...
we have tons of great blue herons here, they would be above the waterline after a tsunami, they are so damn big ;-)
nice pic!

It's a white egret. We call them cattle egrets around here because you will often see them around herds of cattle and they are fairly common.
Thanks jambaloney.

You need to have faith in your own abilities. I bet you could have figured it out without jambaloney's help...
Thanks Kymber.

Sneaky is a good thing...doesn't hurt to be a little sneaky.
It's similar to stealth mode.
Thanks anon 7:31.
