Often mistaken for an owl but is not related in any way.
Arrived home tonight after a weekend break visiting friends & he was sitting on the fence post. had to use the flash as it was black as pitch out there.
Here he is in full

too cool, what species is this?

Great capture. I believe this bird is a Potoo.

fabulous image Laine!

No kidding! He sure does look like an owl; no wonder they're mistaken for them. Really fantastic shot, either way! Just the right amount of flash. He's quite a handsome fellow...

I've seen the Sri Lankan version (in India, lol) and this is about as much they moved! Nice photo

Very nice, you did an excellent job
Karen Leaf04-Apr-2005 02:05
Awesome shot-and for the flash to work so impressively you must have been close!

Wonderful image!

amazing.

Very nice capture.
Guest 03-Apr-2005 20:52
sure looks like an owl to me - except for the beak. jaw-droppingly close up, laine!
Guest 03-Apr-2005 19:22
Looks like an owl, tastes(?) like an owl, must be an owl.
Just kidding, nice shot, Laine. How did you get him to pose long
enough for you to shoot?
Gary Winters03-Apr-2005 19:20
This is not an owl? Wow -- you could have fooled me! How did you even spot him, if it was pitch black out there? I'm very impressed!

What a great portrait of the bird. I must say I have never heard of it but is seems similar to a bird we have called a wryneck...

My first thought as I glanced at the photograph was "Night Owl". Although not an owl, great shot. You have so much wild life around you.
Ric Yates03-Apr-2005 17:06
Great shot - I thought it was an owl as well!
Pepe Zyman03-Apr-2005 16:56
Excellent catch!
Guest 03-Apr-2005 15:21
Great shot Laine.
Must admit I thought it was an owl until I read your caption.
Zak03-Apr-2005 14:40
Wow! Great shot!!
Gayle P. Clement03-Apr-2005 14:03
Very nice capture. I love his name too!
Guest 03-Apr-2005 13:52
Odd name for a cute little bird. Nice capture Laine!
