    Loved seeing this as I recently had a Tawny frogmouth encounter whilst on a week stay in Port Macquarie (NSW). One was sitting for hours in a tree in full sight next to a 2nd level patio
    I managed to get a few great photos including a yawn showing the frog like mouth, I was really surprised however to find out that it isn't actually an owl as they look so much like one.
    The drawing is great too !!

    Tawny Frogmouths are the best. I love listening to them at night, especially now on winter on a foggy night. (For those who don't know what they sound like, you really need to look it up.)
    Every house I've lived in has had a friendly neighbourhood Tawny Frogmouth. This house is the first where their superior stealth capabilities have failed - it doesn't quite work so well on a power pole... Still, they're an absolutely amazing bird. And I'm grateful that I live in their territories.

I looked around at the other trees and it took forever but I eventually saw what looked like an angry muppet scowling at me. Pretty sure it was a tawny frogmouth. I hope.

    Huh, I always knew them as owls. Learn something new every day. We used have a Tawny that frequented our backyard when we moved in our house 20 years ago, it literally pop in to say hello. I think that the previous tenants of the house used to feed it, coz every night it hang out in a tree out the back, go nuts when it saw one of us and then wait still with it's mouth open, after a little while it would fly away. One day it just stopped coming, I imagine since we weren't feeding it, it moved on. It's probably dead now but I still sometimes think of the friendly little fella.

    As an American expat who has lived in Sydney for over 20 years, one of the happiest moments of my life was when my daughter and I were sitting on my bed at night and one landed on the fence outside the window. I lived in the centre of suburban Sydney and I’ve loved these birds for yonks, but had never seen one in the wild until this moment. It took so much self control to not scare it away by squealing with glee.

    We had a tawny frogmouth on our walkies route that my dog would play with every night. They'd have a chat. Loudly. At 2 o'clock in the morning sometimes ( I'm a shift worker,) here's an example of the dialogue:
    Dog: Arf arf!
    Tawny: Crrrrackleackleackleararararara!
    Dog: Hwoo woo woo woo?
    Tawny: Currrakakakakakakakaka?
    Etc. You get the idea. I'd have to stand on the street corner and wait as they'd catch up. 🙄😆

    Tawny frogmouths might look like owls, but some of the other frogmouths look less like owls and much more like potoos. And in fact, this makes a lot of sense; recent evidence demonstrates that frogmouths might be closer relatives of potoos than they are of nightjars. Behaviorally-speaking, frogmouths also have a lot of similarities with potoos.

    A terrific expose of these adorable and strange birds. I am lucky enough to have them visit and nest in my garden each year.

    Frogmouths are very common in Australia. You see them around at night occasionally, and during the day they're just dozing in the trees. They often hang around in little family units. Very cute :)

    Yay, my favourite bird ever. So glad you covered these little guys.
    I still love encountering them just gazing off at nothing in particular

    One of the best things about living in regional Australia is noticing a pair of frogmouths sitting on the fence post watching you. They are adorable wee birds.

    Tawny frogmouths are distantly related to owls, but also to falcons and other birds of prey. And by that, I mean millions of years ago. They do have a common ancestor from which many species derive.
    Tawny frogmouths are amazing! Every time I see one it's cathartic and endearing. I'm Australian and have seen them probably 5 or 6 times in my 38 years. My favourite encounter was when me and my dad (who since passed away) saw one on the street. I was driving and thankfully not too fast
