Photo Credits: fairy-wren. The Tawny Frogmouth is a type of bird found throughout the Australian mainland, Tasmania and southern New Guinea. They can weigh 1.5 lbs to 3.1 lbs. They make loud clacking sounds with their beaks and emit a reverberating booming call. They hunt at night and spend the day roosting on a dead log or tree branch close to the tree trunk.

For a brief second those yellow eyes scared the hell out of me…then I looked at it again and fell in love with its face that only-a-parent-could-love. Happy Monday…
Yes, I felt the same way until I saw the little guys. Agree. Happy Monday to you too.
Aren’t these just the COOLEST birds? Encountered them on a trip to Australia and was completely enthralled. The little guy looks like he’s made up of dryer lint! 🙂
“Dryer Lint.” I’m not sure I would ever have come up with that – but that’s exactly what they look like. Funny!
Quite the little fuzz balls!
Yes they are!
If I did not know it I would have thought those were a toy animal. This animal looks interesting 🙂
Today does not feel like a Monday, everyone is celebrating the Queens Jubilee in UK with street parties, so it is a long weekend into Wednesday.
Enjoy your celebration Alex!
Amazing, I have never seen such a live fuzzy little thing like this…too cute
They are amazing, I agree.
And they are really hard to spot as their feather colour blends into the trees. We used to feed a couple of them in our back yard at my parents house.
I bet they given their color. Curious as to what you fed them?
We gave them bits of minced up cooked meat, probably the wrong stuff, but they seemed to like it or maybe they were just desperate.
Cooked meat! No wonder they were camped out in your yard. 5-star dining at Capt. Savage’s.
I love hearing the owls that live in the trees beside our house. I doubt if the feral rabbits feel the same way though.
We’ve had an explosion of rabbits around the neighborhood. We could use a few owls. These little creatures on the other hand, would not hunt rabbits.
The owls we have are the great horned. They clean up on the rabbits, but somehow there are always two left.
The picture made my day!
Mission accomplished!
These Monday Morning Wake Up Calls help get me started! 🙂
Mission accomplished! Thanks David…
