Ghillie suit with parabola?

[rideout_bruce]

I'm having a hard time approaching certain bird species close enough to get 
a good recording, especially in the desert. I'm considering getting a 
Ghillie suit, but I don't know how effective it will be if I'm still 
holding a parabola out in front of me, especially in the desert where 
there's little vegetation as a backdrop. Does anyone have experience using 
a Ghillie suit with a parabola? Greg Clark, are you out there?

Thanks,
