Tawny Frogmouth Pair Enjoying the Sun

I managed to actually find another pair of Frogmouths along to opposite side of the lake I found the initial pair. I would not have seen these, as they were well back from the tree line, were it not for a Kookaburra I was tracking somewhat giving their position away.

Very nice pictures, Andrew. These guys still had their eye on you. Where were they?

Those birds are so fascinating; I can see why they are difficult to find; great shots, Andrew.

Wait, there's a bird in the photo?

Seriously, that's some fantastic camouflage. And great shots!

I missed both of them on my first look. Birds? Birds? Nothing there but wood!

Nice shots! Boy, they just disappear, don't they? I kept looking at the limbs, nothing... nothing... Oh, wait! That 'limb' is a bird!

(Of course, it didn't help matters any that I was looking for a bird more Whip-Poor-Will sized.)

Holy crap I had to look hard to find them they blend in so well. Excellent captures....wonder how many people just walk by them.

Amazing bird and excellent captures! Looks like a character straight out of the Middle Earth's Fangorn Forest.

Me too! Wonderful find!

Are you talking about those gray colored broken branches that are a little different color? I agree with Duane, Holy Crap! And with David, they would fit well there.
Well done Andrew....
