Tawny by annied

Tawny

With their nocturnal habit and owl-like appearance, Tawny Frogmouths are often confused with owls, but are actually more closely related to the nightjars.
The tawny frogmouth is a perfect example of nature's camouflage at its best. The silvery-grey plumage streaked with black and brown and mottled with flecks of rusty brown and white provides these birds with the ability to sit in full view on an old tree stump in broad daylight and be practically invisible.

Aren't they beautiful. We had one on our fence next to the study a few nights ago and they make the weirdest sounds.
