The eyes of a Tawny Frogmouth.
To get this shot, My friend Jack talked to the bird, starting from across the field. Eventually he was close enough to shoot this, and even pet it. / You just have to see him do it to believe it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/robandstephanielevy/714249061/ / – Frogmouth being petted / http://www.flickr.com/photos/robandstephanielevy/891690163/ / – Jack and his friend

Tawny Frogmouth in it’s pitch black setting, are very effective hunters. These are near impossible to see even in the daylight with their bark like feathers.. Canon 50D, 400mm. Sydney Wildlife World, Darling Harbour.
Here is the last capture of the Tawny, this is what I saw when I first looked out the window .. check out those eyes ô¿ô
These three Tawny Frogmouths came to visit our backyard for a couple of days in Montmorency, Victoria. They were all very placid and relaxed and not bothered by me sneaking up to take photos. This shot was taken with a Nikon D 80 with a Nikkor 18-200 mm lens. Edited in PS CS3. This image was also featured in the local community newpaper.
If you look hard into the eye, you can make out what this guy was looking at. Tawny Frogmouth, these are near impossible to see even in the daylight with their bark like feathers.. Canon 50D, 800mm (Tamron 2x). Sydney Wildlife World, Darling Harbour.
A slight rework of an earlier post .
I went over to this tree to take some photos of things on the ground around it. I looked up to see if there was anything that really caught my eye as a potential shot. As I looked across the branches I saw a Tawny Frogmouth just sitting right there and forgot about the tree altogether ! I got my first Tawny Frogmouth capture, ever ! They are not owls, but they are awake at night and sleep during the daytime. Unlike owls that hunt and catch prey using their claws, the Frogmouth catches it’s prey in it’s beak.

I arrived home from an evening out and this guy was sitting on my neighbour”s fence. The Tawny Frogmouth is related to the night jar family and is not and owl. Owls have tallons and hunt their prey. The Frogmouth prefers to sit very still and quiet and wait for the prey to come to him and uses his break to catch his food /

Two more Frogmouths,maybe Mum and Dad, baby is sitting below them but hard to see behind the foliage, very windy here today. / Taken Nerang bushland nearby our house, which is bushland as well left naturally. / I am passionate about thes lovely birds.
The Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides ) / is often referred to as an Owl but in actual fact is more closely related to Nightjars. / These little ones were asleep on a tree branch and at first glance, just looked like an extension of the tree as they blended in so very well.
A young tawny frogmouth bird imaged in suburbia at Mango Hill, Brisbane, QLD, Australia. It’s very often difficult to see these birds due to there knack of camouflaging themselves on tree branches and it’s also unusual to see them wide-awake during daylight hours. I was fascinated with this young fellow’s awesome stare. It was actually resting hard-up against its mother or father when this image was taken.
This image is a re-run of an image I captured eighteen months ago. These are baby tawny frogmouth birds that spent approximately six weeks with their mother before flying away and exploring the nearby surrounding world. The young one on the left was the weakest of the trio and spent much time being pushed out of the way. Imaged in suburbia at Mango Hill, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
