Can you spot the crafty owl camouflaging itself in this woodland scene?

The remarkable photograph was taken earlier this year close to the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada.

It features a nearly impossible-to-see birds blending seamlessly with its surroundings.

The image was captured by Rob Borovsky, an online marketing manager himself from Alberta, who was visiting the area to capture wildlife pictures.

Rob, 51, said: "I enjoy the challenge of looking for wildlife in its natural environment and then spending time photographing the subject in its natural habitat.

"I was driving with my fiancee along [a] long gravel-covered country road looking for any wildlife we could find.

"After I spotted [a] Great Grey Owl, I observed it flying in front of the tree canopy, hunting for rodents.

"Obviously it was quite visible while flying, although very silent."

Hinting at the location of the bird, Rob added: "The intended image was of [the owl] and how it blended into the tree trunk merely because of its naturally camouflaged feathers.

"Had it not moved its head and had I not spotted its yellow eyes, it would have been virtually invisible."

The Great Grey Owl is the world's largest species of owl by length, and is distributed across the Northern Hemisphere.

The Rocky Mountains are a 3,000-mile mountain range stretching from British Columbia in Western Canada to New Mexico in the southwestern United States.

They are home to at least eight species of owl.
