The Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) is a large species of
frogmouth found throughout the Australian mainland, Tasmania, and southern New Guinea. Unlike the
owl for which it is often mistaken, the Tawny Frogmouth is not a
bird of prey. Instead, it is almost exclusively
insectivorous. For defense, it relies on
cryptic camouflage, standing still to appear part of a branch.Photo:
