Quoting Ken Waller <kwal...@peoplepc.com>:
Nice capture. Reminds me of the smaller owls I've seen.
Approximately how big are they?
Are they both mature ?
Thanks for the comment, Ken.
A mature frogmouth is about barn owl size - the larger one in the
photo is mature; the smaller one about half grown - not sure if the
two birds are related.
Frogmouths are much like owls in habit - they're nocturnal, fly
silently and prey on insects etc.
Cheers
Brian

Tawny Frogmouths have to be my favourite Australian native birds.
They spend their days perched on eucalypts trying to look like dead
branches - and very effectively too.
These two had been injured and are being rehabilitated at a wildlife park.
