A bird’s color and its color pattern have evolved over the centuries to help the bird hide from potential predators. Although male Cardinals and Goldfinch are obvious exceptions to this tendency. It is hard to imagine how, with their bright coloring, they could blend into any natural surroundings.

At the opposite extreme, the coloring and pattern of this owl perfectly match its surroundings. You could easily pass within a few feet of the owl and never see it.
