Tawny Frogmouth : Just blinking . . .
This image is included in a gallery "beautifulowlsgallery6" curated by Claire (...☼ƸӜƷ).
Captured this one at a friend's backyard this afternoon.
Looks like this is a female, and she is trying to wake up : her bright yellow eyes are still droopy. There are loud noises from heavy machineries due to renovation work, but does not seem to be annoyed.
Tawny frogmouths are not owls, and are colloquially (incorrectly) referred to as Mopoke, Morepork. They are closely related to Nigtjars and Oilbirds. Unlike owls, they are not raptorial.
