Tawny Frogmouth

Podargus strigoides

This Tawny Frogmouth flew in my window. Naturally, I grabbed my camera and took a few shots before putting him outside again. Here he is, sitting beside my futon bed .....

Wow fancy him dropping you a visit, judging by his colour I would imagine he would be pretty hard to see because of the tree bark markings. Great sharpness. Voted

Wonderful...reminds me of our poor-wills here. Does this have a bigger mouth that it suggests? V.
