Tricolored Herons are very good at sneaking up on their prey fish.

Not sure about this wing formation there captured in the fraction of a second, but I think this is this eagle's stealth fighter mode so that the fish's radar cannot pick up the eagle's 'signature' ;)

"Tarnkappen-Bomber" are designed to avoid detection using a variety of technologies that reduce reflection/emission of radar, infrared,[visible light, radio frequency (RF) spectrum, and audio, collectively known as stealth technology.

I walked right past this American bittern without seeing it. They are such stealthy hunters, walking through water and dry grass without making a sound. Fortunately I was more observant on the return trip.

With amazing hearing, long legs and wide feet Great Blue Herons are a cinch to be stealth hunters !

Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.

Great Blue Heron 3389

I think this is a Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus) but with no eye markings on the wings I'm not completely sure. All in black it is definitely trying to avoid radar detection though!! We saw this on the slopes of Pressendye on our descent back to Tarland.

Pressendye is just a small Graham of 620 meters (2034 feet), but a 15 Km (9 mile) circuit definitely stretched the legs.

I don't know how they do it, but this bittern stalked its prey through the grass and water without making a sound or a ripple in the water.

Shadows in the woods..showed up like a Ghost..lol

Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking

This juvenile Bateleur (Erathopius ecaudatus) in stealth mode was photographed in the wild in the Kgalagadi.

I saw this Eurasian whimbrel (numenius phaeopus) take a couple of ghost crabs off the sand. The bird moved very slowly along the beach, occasionally being rewarded for its patience and stealth. Photographed near Belle Mare, in Mauritius.
