The Troubled Hunter and the Bird of Flight Tricks

A hunter describes a wary bird with one hundred defensive maneuvers. It lies still within a yard, then a sudden upward surge shows its presence. It crouches on branches as the hunter passes, remaining hidden until alarmed. When flushed, the bird escapes, wings flicking as a brown speck in the distance.

Black ruff and tree trunk hide a wary bird in leaves

A description from H. S. Canfield in Outing details a stealthy bird that blends with bark, uses a black neck ruff for camouflage, and dashes under spruce when approached. It can double and fox-like dodge, often prefers leafy ground, and may race away on foot rather than take wing when unseen.
