Walked past this one a few times in a short space of time before i actually realized it was there. Masters of their habitat that can sit motionless for hours on end.

Tawny frogmouth. Podargus strigoides

One of the best examples of cryptic plumage and mimicry in Australian birds is seen in the tawny frogmouth which perch low on tree branches during the day camouflaged as part of the tree. Their silvery-grey plumage patterned with white, black, and brown streaks and mottles allows them to freeze into the form of a broken tree branch and become practically invisible in broad daylight. The tawny frogmouth often chooses a broken part of a tree branch and perches upon it with its head thrust upwards at an acute angle using its very large, broad beak to emphasise the resemblance.

Tawny frogmouths form partnerships for life, and once established, pairs usually stay in the same territory for a decade or more. Establishing and maintaining physical contact is an integral part of their lifelong bond. During breeding season, pairs roost closely together on the same branch, often with their bodies touching. The male carries out grooming by gently stroking through the plumage of the female with his beak in sessions that can last for 10 minutes or more.

This traditional Ohio bird is looking at you. It's perched on a tree on a cold winter day.

A huge, distinctive hornbill with a large yellow bill and casque. Black face, wings, and breast contrast with white neck, belly, and tail. Sexes are similar, except that females have an entirely yellow casque, a pale iris, and bare pink skin around the eye. In flight, note the white tail with black band, and the black wings with a yelowish-white band and a white edge. The species inhabits dense evergreen forests. The call is usually a loud series of deep grunts. #birds #indianbirds #tbird #nature #wildlife #birdsofinstagram #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #india #birdsofindia #best #birdwatching #naturephotography #photography #birdlovers #birding #perfection #bbcearth #hatgeoyourshot #captures #brilliance #natgeo #nikon #birdphotographersofindia #wild #nikonzseries #hornbill

The spotted nutcracker or Eurasian nutcracker, is a passerine bird slightly larger than the Eurasian jay. It has a much larger bill and a slimmer looking head without any crest. The feathering over its body is predominantly chocolate brown with distinct white spots and streaks.
