Tawny Frogmouths

Notes:

This beautiful pair were perched in a tree at my in-laws' house in north Brisbane. Tawny Frogmouths are often mistaken for owls; however, there are many differences. One is that they are almost exclusively insectivorous, and catch their prey with their beaks rather than with their talons. Tawny Frogmouths generally remain sitting very still on a low perch, and wait for food to come to them. They hunt at night and, like this pair, they spend the day roosting on a comfy perch.
