Tawny Frog Mouths

Pogargus strigoides is truly a master of disguise…........ until they open their eyes they are absolutely hard to spot…...

and you have a pair! awesome…......

If you take a closer look wendy..there are three..!

thanks for the comments!

Wow cool shot,if you hadent mentioned the third one I would have never known,well captured

these are my favourite birds… fantastic the way they just disappear into the bark….
i have a pic of one on my page, taken by a friend.

Very cool. Did you enjoy undara?

Undara was an amazing experience..australia still surprises me..didnt now it existed until we came upon it!

what a great pic! just beautiful

Great capture!

Fabulous! Such characters.

This is fabulous ~ i hadn’t noticed the third one until I read your comments. Well spotted!

Thankyou everyone who commented!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Aren’t they funny! What a superb shot!

This is awesome, and I have never seen “this” kind of bir before… Thank you for sharing this.

Great! I need to get something like this, it would work beautifully as a depiction in a mimicry image! Sal this is really a great find, and two of them!

I see number three now, duh!

beautiful…ive never seen anything like this

Andy~ Thankyou for your comments. I was very lucky to have three of them sitting together~I just happened to be in the right place at the right time!

Wonderful camouflage, indeed. Beautiful colours and patterns.

Thank you for adding this lovely image along your pledge to Art for Conservation.

Amazing how they hide themselves in full view.

Thankyou Carmen and jesika

Incredibly crystal clear capture of wildlife most of us never see and probably never miss if not for your gift of sharing this rare glimpse into Nature! Well done and wonderful group to sponsor.
Simply outstanding work.

Dave I am honoured to be here! Thankyou so much for your kind comments. I am very happy to share and three little tawny frog mouths brought someone a smile today!

you are so lucky to have captured this pair…well done

my favourite owl what a wonderfull shot, nicely captured.

Thankyou JP100~!

These are one of my favourite birds. We are lucky enough to have one “hooting” out the front of our house. When I first discovered it I would go out and talk (hoot) to him and he would answer. I sure my neighbours must have thought I’d lost it!
I too only saw two until you mentioned the third. Fantastic capture.

Oh you are so lucky to have them in your backyard. They are fantastic and the little ones have such great expressions/character! Thanks for taking the time to appreciate them. :)

These guys are just the masters of nature’s camouflage aren’t they?! Great find and great capture! :)

Simone. they are_{! Thanks for commenting}!

Amazing birds
Did you pat them?
They will not move.
The sort of bird you honestly dont see for the trees. Unless you know they are there.

Thanks Peter..no didnt want to interfer with them. They were dong such a wonderful job at being incognito (so they thought!) ..Try not to intrude too much or shock wildlife…its important.

Beautiful… Nap time :)

Cheers Hagen~!

Wonderful shot, ive never seen one of these guys before. Wonderful detail

Thanks Steven~!

Great camouflage capture!

Thankyou George~~!

So cute – my favourite bird

Thanks Amanda~!

Oh Wow… Neat shot, they blend right in don’t they?

Mikrin..yes they do..they dont do much else during the day..other than sit..more nocturnal birds.

I love these guys, well captured here and you did well to spot them, they blend in so amazingly to that tree.

Thanks Gayle~!

Awesome capture. I love these guys and the way they hide in plain view. Definitely a fav.

Thankyou Etienne for comment and for adding to favs~! :)

This is great example of Tawny Frogmouths. A publisher would love this. I have a couple or three that live in a tree outside my house in north Queensland. (Could be more and I haven’t spotted them, such clever little devils at disguise that they are.)

salsbells, just got around to having more of a look at your pics,all are just wonderful,this pic is just superb. :-)

Great capture

Brilliant capture, this is special!

lovely pic.

great shot

Well taken! They blend into the background so well.

Thankyou very much :D

I have never seen such a bird before! I mean birdssss before; I cannot believe how well they blend in! this is an amazing capture!

An amazing photo of these in the wild – they seem to group in 3’s I’ve noticed. Congratulations.

GR8 CAPTURE.

WOW great eye to that!! Nice job Sal!

Beautifully captured image of this sweet family of froggies sitting so well camouflaged ! Too cute!
