EDITORS COMMENTS
Sleepyhead in the Land Down Under: Meet this dapper Tawny Frogmouth, the ultimate master of disguise! With his eyes closed and perched comfortably on a tree branch in Queensland, Australia, he's taking relaxation to new heights. This adult male knows how to blend into his surroundings like a true Aussie pro. Donning his cryptic camouflage feathers, this feathered friend is practically invisible among the branches. It's no wonder these fascinating creatures are often mistaken for tree stumps during the day! But don't be fooled by their sleepy appearance – when night falls, they transform into skilled hunters who swoop down on unsuspecting prey. In this snapshot captured by wildlife photographer Malcolm Schuyl from FLPA Images, we get a rare glimpse into the secret world of these elusive birds. The serene expression on our frogmouth's face suggests that he has found the perfect spot for an afternoon siesta. Queensland's lush forests provide an ideal habitat for these magnificent avian beings to rest and recharge. So next time you find yourself wandering through Australia's enchanting wilderness, keep your eyes peeled for these masters of disguise – but remember not to disturb their beauty sleep!
