    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 !!

    I've been within 3 feet of a Wild Tawny Frogmouth before, I was walking along the side of a fence when I noticed something in the corner of my eye a few feet away from me, it was a frogmouth sitting on the fence. It was insane how well camouflaged it was, It just stayed still in hopes i couldnt see it, I really could have touched it. But I didnt want to disturb it

      They are actually "pretty friendly" I had one that lived in a tree on a bush property of mine, it kept coming back to the same tree night after night near the camp fire and would just watch me and let me get within feet of it.. when I would go, for a walk, in the middle of the night it would sometimes swoop down past my shoulder to let me know it was around (and render the need for the walk.. done) would go and sit back in the tree and just be chill.

    I'll never forget the family of Tawny Frogmouths that lived in the gum tree next door that overhung our drive way. Got home one night and went out the back to have a smoke at 1am and one flew onto the roof of our back fence, then swooped over my head onto the back patio, watched me for 5 minutes and then flew back up into the tree. Love these birds.

    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 :)

  • @seonaelizabethcoster8465

    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.
