T'was A Hot Day
Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) female
Mama Frogmouth resting in the shade on this day in 2019. I noted on the file that the temperature on that day was 44°C (111°F) Dad was sitting on the nest. By comparison today is a glorious 25°C (77°F)
For those not familiar with the Frogmouth, they are not an Owl, being most closely related to the Nightjar Family.
Sadly they didn't return to this nest site last year or this year.
