| Tawny Frogmouth on a nest. (Murphys Creek, Queensland, 2008) |
I usually don't like going up to birds in nests but I quickly took couple of snaps of this Tawny Frogmouth sitting on a nest in a tree alongside a country road. The lower picture shows the true angle. Tawny Frogmouths often put their nests in the fork of branches that are fairly horizontal. I have seen and photographed Frogmouth nests that are just a small collection of sticks running almost parallel to the fork. This nest looked quite leafy. (Photos from a nice outing with Mick Atzeni)

Great pictures Russell, but it's a species that's hard to comprehend up here in the northern hemisphere and I can't think of much that is close to it. Must be nice to go out and find and study them regularly.
That must be a great experience! So far I've only seen 2 species of frogmouths, and they were all so difficult to see. I wish frogmouths in Asia were easier to see like in Australia.
Wow! What a cool bird.
