Description ...
Frogmouths are abundant throughout their range, but are often killed or injured on the roads during feeding. Tawny frogmouths are at high risk of exposure to pesticides as they have adapted to living in close proximity to human populations.
The frogmouths (Podargidae) comprise 12 species found in Australia, Malaya and the Philippines.
Tawny frogmouths hunt at night and spend the day roosting on a dead log or tree branch close to the tree trunk.
Their camouflage is excellent - staying very still and upright, they look just like part of the branch.
