Podargus strigoides
Males and females look alike and are 35–53 cm (14–21 in) long. They have yellow eyes and a wide beak topped with a tuft of bristly feathers. Tawny Frogmouths hunt at night and spend the day roosting on a dead log or tree branch close to the tree trunk.
Found throughout the Australian mainland, Tasmania and southern New Guinea.
The Tawny Frogmouth is often mistaken for an owl. Many Australians refer to the Tawny Frogmouth by the colloquial names of "Mopoke"
