Yes, Mel. I can't imagine the number of critters I would have never seen if not almost always on the trails with natives. They can be looking up in the trees for birds and suddenly point out a camouflaged snake on the trail ahead. I have no idea how they do it, but I am thankful for them. Thanks for sharing this great spotting.
