EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Don Hadden, we are introduced to the enchanting world of the Tawny Frogmouth. These three subspecies of these nocturnal birds can be found scattered across Australia, making them a well-known and beloved sight in open woodlands and various habitats. As we gaze at this snapshot taken near the Broome Bird Observatory in Western Australia, it's hard not to be captivated by their unique appearance. With their wide eyes and fluffy plumage, they resemble wise old owls dressed up as tree branches. It's no wonder why they have become one of Australia's most iconic nighttime creatures! These feathered friends are experts at blending into their surroundings during daylight hours, becoming almost invisible against the bark of trees. But when night falls, they come alive with activity! Their large mouths make for excellent insect catchers as they swoop through the darkness. So next time you find yourself wandering along Crab Creek Road or exploring any Australian wilderness after sunset, keep an eye out for these charismatic characters perched on a branch nearby. Just remember not to mistake them for statues – those "branches" might just blink back at you!
